STARKE COUNTY IN THE CIVIL WAR

Introduction

Although Starke County had been formed by a legislative act in 1835, it was 1850 before the

county was organized with its own governmental jurisdiction. The 1850 Federal Census listed

only 557 inhabitants.

The 1860 Federal Census shows there were 2,195 inhabitants living in the young county just

prior to the breakout of war between the north and south. We might assume half of those

inhabitants were males, and we could further assume that fewer than half of those were of an

eligible age to enlist. In any case, records show that little more than 155 men enlisted from

Starke County.

Growth had been slow in the county in those early years. A large portion of the county was

constrained by the Grand Kankakee Marsh, and transportation was severely lacking.

But land was cheap encouraging many settlers seeking a new start to move west from Ohio and

Pennsylvania and other places in the east. Immigrants straight from Germany and elsewhere

were attracted, as well, to Starke County’s wilderness.

Living was primitive in the county prior to the war. There would have been few if any wood

frame homes. Instead, logs were used for most buildings. These early settlers were mostly

concerned with survival.

When the war broke out, there was no doubt a variety of reasons that our early county men

enlisted. The records show Indiana was fifth in numbers of supplied troops. For many it was a

matter of duty and pride. For others a bounty of $10 to $500 was inviting, prompting even older

married men with families to enlist.

Most Starke County enlistees departed for Indianapolis from the New Albany & Louisville

Railroad depot in San Pierre. Some headed north on the railroad and enlisted in Michigan City or

LaPorte. The “Copper-Heads”, a loosely organized Indiana group opposed to emancipation, are

reported to have fired upon departing enlistees more than once at San Pierre.

Twenty-one of the little more than 155 men who enlisted from Starke County never returned

home from the battlefields. Some were killed in action against the rebels, but even more died of

disease and sickness. And a few were reported as deserters.

After the war was over in 1865, Starke County saw another wave of settlers, some of them

single unmarried men looking for a place to settle down. Even at that early date there was much

land speculation, as there were those who wished to drain the marshes and convert the virgin

land to productive farms.

As a result, there were many Civil War Veterans, who had enlisted in such places as Ohio and

Pennsylvania, that moved into the county after the war. Many stayed, raised families and died

here in Starke County.

The ultimate record of Starke County Civil War Veterans has to be the Veteran’s Grave

Registration, which was put together by the WPA and American Legion in 1938-1939. These

cards included all known veterans buried in Starke County at that time.

The majority of these veterans served in the Civil War due to the timing of the WPA project;

however the records also include veterans of the War of 1812, Mexican War, Spanish American

War and World War One. For the purposes of this account, we have only included those veterans

who appear to have served in the Civil War.

After the turn of the last century, the numbers of local Civil War veterans began to dwindle

rapidly. By the late 1930’s, there were but one or two veterans left.

In our effort to make a complete record of Starke County Civil War Veterans, the question of

“just what is a Starke County Civil War Veteran”, soon becomes apparent. Does a veteran have

to be buried in our county? Did a veteran have to enlist from Starke County? What about the

veterans who moved to Starke County long after the war, lived here for a time but then moved

and died elsewhere? Or the person who lived in our county before the war, but moved and

enlisted from elsewhere? And even a veteran who moved to Starke County at the age of ninety-

five, died here five years later but is buried in another county?

For our purposes, we have tried to make record of any Civil War Veteran who spent time in

Starke County during his lifetime. We have attempted to record information from as many

sources as possible. In some cases, the information appears to be in conflict. Therefore our

account should not be taken as the final authority. It is hoped that this record will be a useful

consolidation of everything that is available on Starke County in the Civil War.

Chapter One

Starke County Enlistments & Casualties

In the early 1900’s, the Indiana Adjutant General’s office hired clerks to transfer the

deteriorating original muster rolls to index cards in an effort to more readily locate the records of

soldiers who had served through the State of Indiana. Those soldiers, now older, needed

confirmation of their service to apply for military pensions.

The index cards contain information about the individual’s service, including regiment and

company, and in many instances the soldier’s age and physical description, former occupation,

nativity and any notes found in the rolls, including promotions, medical conditions, and dates of

death if during service. Years later the index cards were also microfilmed. They are available in

the Genealogy Room at the Indiana State Library.

A review of enlistment information recorded for Starke County Civil War veterans indicates

most home addresses were given simply as the nearest post office at that point in time. This was

many years before the introduction of rural mail delivery, and people simply stopped by their

nearest post office to get their mail.

The post offices that were in existence in the 1860’s were Brantwood, Grovertown, Knox, Lake

City (Bass Lake), North Bend, North Judson, San Pierre and Toto. It should also be noted that

since the time of the Civil War, a number of post offices have both opened and closed in Starke

County.

One post office that was open in the 1860’s and yet shows no enlistees was Toto. It is not clear

why Toto enlistees used Knox as their address. Some enlistees from the eastern part of North

Bend Township may have used Maxintuckee or Marmont as Culver was called back then. Some

enlistees from the Koontz Lake area, then known as Clear Lake, used Walkerton as their address.

It is nearly impossible to identify Starke County enlistees who used a post office outside the

county, as no other identifying information was recorded. As a result, our list of Starke County

enlistments could be missing a few more veterans.

Many veterans show multiple enlistment dates due to re-enlistments. We have only shown the

first enlistment for the purposes of our account. Others served in more than one unit. Here again

we have only shown the first unit. While a few were promoted, we are showing their enlistment

rank.

Often the place of enlistment was different than where a soldier was mustered in. For example,

John Henry McFarland’s record shows he enlisted February 9, 1865 at Winamac and was

mustered into Co. G, 151 Reg’t Indiana Infantry at LaPorte on February 19, 1865. John lived

near Round Lake.

The bodies of some of those who died during the war were returned home to Starke County and

are so indicated. Others are thought to be buried on the battlefield or at the nearest hospital’s

burial ground.

The burial place of many of those who enlisted from the county is not known. Some of the

younger unmarried men may have moved on to new opportunities after the war. Others may very

well have come back to the county, stayed a few years and then moved elsewhere.

As in countless wars before,

brothers often joined the war effort

at the same time. Three such

brothers (shown left to right) were

Jonathon, Silas and Isaac Bascom

from Round Lake. All three

brothers were mustered into

Company D 29th

Regiment Indiana

Volunteer Infantry on September

13, 1861. Silas died of wounds

received during the war in 1865. We

know that Isaac participated in a

number of battles, including

Chickamauga, Shilo, Missionary Ridge and Bull Run. He was wounded twice and captured

twice. In all, Isaac served 4 years, 4 months and 14 days.

James Short (shown to the right) was one of four sons of

Wingate Short of Round Lake to enlist in the Union

Army.

Two more of his sons, Robert and Tipton, died during the

war. A third son, Henry, survived the war but developed

suffered various ailments as a result of conditions in the

field.

James was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga on

September 13, 1863 and carried a bullet in his abdomen

the rest of his life.

Chapter Two

Enrollment of the Late Soldiers, their Widows & Orphans for 1886

This listing of veterans and their widows and orphans was made by the county assessor, starting

in 1886. It includes veterans of the War of 1812, Indian Wars, and the Civil War. The list was

made in 1886, 1890, and 1894. It lists name, rank, company, regiment, state to which the

regiment belonged, present post office address, and date of death.

Additionally, the listing states any war-caused injuries or diseases.

Many veterans are listed more than once due to the two separate enumerations (1886 and 1890)

in Starke County. In some cases the information may have been reported slightly different

between enumerations.

The original records are stored at the Indiana State Archives. A card index is located at the

Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library.

As near as we can ascertain, only 39 of Starke County’s 155 enlistees show up on this

enrollment. None of the 22 enlistees who died or went missing during the war are listed.

We have not found the criteria for this enrollment, but it would appear that it may have pertained

only to veterans or, if dead, their widows and orphans who were claiming an injury or disease as

a result of their military service.

There are many examples of veterans who enlisted from Starke County, lived and died here, but

are not listed on the 1886 Enrollment.

Although many veterans are duplicated due to the various enrollments, its 500 records serve to

illustrate how many Civil War veterans moved into Starke County after the war ended.

Dr. Alexander H. Henderson is one of the veterans listed on this enrollment. According to the

enrollment record, Dr. Henderson suffered a concussion and other ailments as a result of his

service in the Union Army. His story from the 1894 Pictorial and Biographical Record of La

Porte, Porter, Lake and Starke Counties Indiana is an interesting one and is repeated here.

ALEXANDER H. HENDERSON

If a long life, filled with good deeds, places a man in the ranks of public benefactors, then surely

the name of Dr. Alexander H. Henderson will be one long remembered by the residents of Starke

County, Indiana. For many years he was one of the familiar figures seen throughout the country

as he journeyed to the houses of the sick, nursing them back to life and giving to them the

blessings of happiness. In the early days, when people were poor, he was a true friend and

benefactor, as he often gave his advice and service without expectation of reward other than that

secured in the satisfaction of doing a good deed. It is thus true that he must be classed as a public

benefactor and have his name enrolled among that small but honored class of humanitarians

who, by their self-sacrifice and devotion to duty, have deserved the plaudits of their fellow-

citizens.

The father of Dr. Henderson was born in Virginia in 1786, of English parents, was married in

1817 in Kentucky to a lady born in that state in 1800, of Scottish ancestry, and in 1827, eleven

years after Indiana had been made a State, they settled in the then wilderness north of the

Wabash river, near the village (now city) of Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, where they cleared

a farm. Here the father died in 1855, followed by his widow in 1862. Alexander H. Henderson is

the youngest of thirteen children, twelve of whom grew to be men and women. Until fifteen

years of age he passed his time in assisting on the farm and occasionally hiring out to get a little

spending money. About this time he decided to become a doctor. He succeeded in begging

money enough from his eldest brother, who was his guardian, to attend school one term, and,

bidding good-bye to the old log house and farm, he entered the academy at Thomtown, Indiana,

under the tuition of Dr. (now Bishop) Sims. There he became noted for his industrious habits and

close application to his studies, which, in one term, enabled him to become sufficiently advanced

to obtain a license to teach school. This he did the following winter, at the same time keeping up

his standing in his classes, being examined at the close of each academical term, and thus going

through college, earning his own support

In 1861, when the rebels fired on Fort Suniter, which sent an electric shock, as it were, through

every loyal citizen of this country, his young heart was fired with enthusiasm and love for the

flag, and he soon left school for the capital of the state to become one of the 75,000 Lincoln

soldiers. "Uncle Sam" was more particular then about his soldiers than he was later on in the

war, and he, not being a physical Samson, was refused. He returned to school and graduated the

next spring with the honors of his class, delivering the valedictory address. The next thing heard

from him was making schoolhouse speeches in the neighborhood where he was reared, urging

the young men to gird on the armor of war and go forth to battle for the nation's life. In August,

1862, he enlisted in Company C, Seventy-second Indiana Volunteer Infantry for " three years or

during the war." His regiment, after about a year's service as infantry, became mounted on horses

and armed with Henry rifles, and put under command of Gen. Wilder, forming part of that

famous brigade, which is too well known in history to be repeated here, it being one of the most

effective branches of the Union service.

While stationed a short time at Louisville, Kentucky, he attended Boyd's Commercial College at

nights, after the duties for the day were over, and finally graduated, receiving the degree of

Accountant. Serving in various

capacities as a soldier, part of the

time in the medical department, till

near the close of the war, he was

ordered to St. Louis, Mo., to be

examined for a commission in a

negro regiment (having previously

made application), but the

commission as colonel came too

late, for the war was virtually over.

Being tired of soldier life he

refused the commission, and in

September, 1865, was mustered

out of service, returned North, and,

being financially embarrassed,

commenced teaching school again,

continuing the study of medicine

till 1868, when he passed

examination and opened up an

office at Monee, Illinois, selling

his only feather bed to pay the

government license.

Dr. Alexander H. Henderson

He conducted a successful practice at this point until soon after the great Chicago fire in 1871,

when he moved to Knox, Starke County, Indiana. Here he rode almost day and night through the

swamps, marshes, and over the sand hills, administering to the wants of the sick and receiving

but very little compensation for his services.

In 1873 he was elected, under the new law, the first county superintendent of schools of Starke

County, holding this office for two years; was re-elected, but before his second term expired he

was elected county auditor, being the first and only Republican ever elected to that office in this

(Starke) county. He held the office four years, and in the fall of 1882 was nominated by his party

for joint representative of Starke and St. Joseph Counties. This was when the legislature was to

decide whether or not the constitutional amendments regarding the temperance question should

be submitted to the people for their suffrage. Believing that this is a government for the people,

and that the people had a right, in their sovereign capacity, to determine all such questions, he

favored submission, and made a thorough canvass in both counties, speaking in nearly every

township, and was elected by quite a majority, running ahead of his ticket. While a member of

the legislature he served on several important committees, among which were engrossing,

temperance and drainage. He framed and secured the passage of the bill enabling the several

counties of the State to sell and dispose of lands forfeited to the State for the use and benefit of

the school fund, and providing for the deficiency in said school fund occasioned by such sale.

This law has relieved many counties of the State from paying large sums of interest on forfeited

school lands. Dr. Henderson was always found in his seat in the House upholding and voting for

those principles and laws that he thought would benefit the greatest number of his fellow-men.

In 1888 he was elected chairman of the Central Committee of Starke County, and when

Benjamin Harrison was elected President of the United States, his county gave the Republican

ticket a larger per cent, of gain than any other county in the State.

In 1889 he received the appointment of postmaster at Knox, Indiana, which position he held until

June, 1893, when he resigned. He was also appointed in 1889 United States examining surgeon,

and when the board convened was chosen its president, holding this position till 1893, when he

was relieved (being a Republican) by President Cleveland. The Doctor has filled various offices

of trust in the town of Knox; was various offices of trust in the town of Knox; was county

physician for several years, vice-president of the Starke Medical Society, an active worker in

politics, and in 1894 was again chosen chairman of the County Central Committee.

He is connected with several secret organizations at Knox, Indiana, and assisted in their

organization, and was a charter member in each, viz. : The Grand Army of the Republic,

organized in 1882, and was its first and second commander; the Independent Order of Odd

Fellows (organized in 1887], and was its first treasurer, and the Knights of Pythias (organized in

1891), and has been its treasurer ever since its organization. He is always willing to assist and

take an active part in every enterprise to benefit his town or to build up and elevate society,

giving liberally to churches and charity and to lend a helping hand to those in need. He is now

conducting a successful banking and drug business in the town of Knox, at which he has been

engaged since the year 1880.

Starke County Association of Old Soldiers – 1908

The Starke County Association of Old Soldiers appears to have been a somewhat loosely

organized group that met annually to reminisce and remember past military service. Newspaper

accounts of these annual meetings seem to be sporadic. Some years were apparently well

organized and attended and described in lengthy newspaper accounts.

It is not known when the group organized

themselves, but we have seen newspaper

accounts of annual meetings between 1908

and 1915.

The group seemed to have been made up of

primarily Civil War Veterans, even though the

Spanish American War had already taken

place.

Of the 141 veterans listed on the following

pages at the 1908 meeting, many would have

moved into Starke County after the Civil War

looking for new opportunities.

Although the San Pierre GAR Post had closed in 1903, the Knox and North Judson GAR Posts

co-existed during this same time period. Perhaps this was a way for Civil War Veterans from all

over the county to get together once a year. Newspaper accounts, however, show no connection

to the GAR Posts or sponsorship.

These two photos were probably

taken during Old Soldier

reunions. The top photo was

taken at 2 South Main St. in

Knox. The photo to the right was

taken on the courthouse lawn in

Knox. Most of the Veterans

appear to be wearing GAR

medals and insignia.

Chapter 16 of Joseph N. McCormick’s 1915 History of Starke County gives the following

account of the Starke County Association of Old Soldiers.

ROSTER OF MEMBERS of the Starke County Association of Soldiers taken in the year 1908,

giving the number of the regiment, company and the state in which they enlisted but now

belonging to the above association, in Knox:

[see list following this memoriam]

Many of the above soldiers were from different states, but the object of this list is to show the

names of the soldiers residing in Starke County in 1908 and belonging to the association as

above stated. This shows how the old soldiers change their location and their residences years

after the close of that awful struggle which terminated its bloody conflict in 1865.

The above association was organized especially with the view of bringing together the old

soldiers of the Civil war where they could enjoy each other's company and talk over the many

hardships and privations that they experienced during those war days while in the South. Many

pleasant days were also experienced in their soldier lives. There were many pleasant days that

they enjoyed together, but when the bugle call was sounded every man was in line at a moment's

notice and all through that engagement they fought side by side, some falling mortally wounded,

some killed outright, but those were the days that tried the courage of every soldier, who with

that determination to fight to the end, stood brave and true until the breeze should clear away the

smoke from the battlefield, there to expose to their view the brothers slain, giving up their lives

in a glorious cause, defending the American flag that our country should be free.

Many new acquaintances were formed by those soldiers coming together from different states

and from various regiments into close relationship with each other. All are brothers in the sense

of the life they lived during the years they were away from their families and friends, dreaming

perhaps of that good wife, that boy, that daughter, that home so far away. By their faithful

service those that survived came home after four long years of perpetual warfare, there to greet

the families they loved so well, and again to take up the duties of their farm life or continue in

whatever occupation presented itself most favorable to them.

Many of those old soldiers are among us at this time. Many of them are drawing pensions,

having been disabled in the army, but money will not restore those old soldiers to the good health

that they enjoyed before going to war. Content with their conditions they are seeking to provide

and maintain their living, trying to enjoy themselves as best they can under all those difficulties

that have followed them from the battlefield.

Those old soldiers, with throbbing hearts and eyes dimmed with years, are ever mindful of the

thought that they too shall give up the struggles of this life to be made more joyous for having

acted their part so well, having fought the good fight, having shown to the world their courage,

their ambition, their devotion to so sacred a cause, a love for our country, a determination to

establish and maintain a government where your children shall be protected from all harm, where

they can enjoy the blessing so valiantly defended by the misery, the privations and the suffering

of those old soldiers.

One by one the old soldiers are leaving us. Instead of going to war they are going to that peaceful

rest where the cannon's roar is never heard and the bayonet flashes not, but all is peace and

happiness beyond this vale of tears. Many who fell upon the battlefield while engaged in battle

have been sleeping that sleep that knows no awakening, just gone on before, waiting for all the

heroes of the great Civil war to join them where they can sing that national air of "a heavenly

home beyond the skies." No set of men in the world more display a feeling of gratitude

towards each other than do the soldiers of this country, and I have often thought that perhaps this

friendship and veneration is prompted more by the thought that ere many years shall pass away

there shall be laid to rest many more of their dear comrades, consigned to the tomb just like

those who have already given up this life and all that this world contains, only to be remembered

by those not yet called upon to receive their reward. The first impulse of man is to overcome his

enemy, and to ride triumphantly to victory is the ever-prevailing thought of us all - a thought

brought down all along the rugged ages of time.

You who never witnessed the field of battle, you who never faced the awful foe, looking down

into the very mouths of the cannons before you ready to go thundering through the ranks of

soldiers at a touch, you dear friends have not the knowledge of that mother's boy standing there

with drawn gun and sword to protect his home, his country and his Government though he

should fall before the enemy; with courage and a true heart he never flinches or shirks his duty

but stands firm in the fond hope of coming out of the battle sound and well, gaining the victory

for which he offered up his life and all that was in him to give that the nation he preserved and

prosperity reign throughout our land from North to South and from the Pacific to New England's

ocean shore.

We thank the citizens and soldiers of Starke County for the respect shown us in arranging these

meetings. This is the universal feeling of all the old soldiers of our country, grateful for the

provisions made for the accommodation of all the old soldiers, who come together from year to

year to hold sweet communion one with another and to visit and to talk over those long days of

suffering that they experienced for four years fighting the battles of our country, climbing up

rugged mountain sides and then descending on the other side, sometimes marching right into the

jaws of death. Such is warfare.

Thanks to Him above for the favors shown us that we too were not slain upon that battlefield.

While our sympathy goes out for those that fell by our side and the kind wishes for those families

left destitute of a father or son, yet many are the kind words spoken by the enemy who fell

wounded in that same conflict, sometimes beckoning to a dear brother some signs of comfort that

his condition might be relieved and both restored to their friends once more.

Well do you remember the day that you were mustered out of service and then returning to your

home with your honorable discharge from the war that you had been engaged in so long. No

wonder then that you congratulate yourselves for the part you took in the war and your return

to your old homes there to greet your families and friends and then settle down in peace once

more. War is an awful thing. So many of our brave men and boys that go into the battle never

know the pleasure of a returning trip to their old home, but many were laid to rest in some

southern cemetery lot, there to ,be known no more by their friends at home.

Hoping that we may all meet again in years to come where we can visit as before and all have a

good time together, is the sincere wish of all the old soldiers that have met with you, our friends,

on so happy an occasion as those meetings prove to be.

Next year no doubt the old soldier society will be revived and they will join in holding a meeting

of all those that are left of the now living in the county. Some have passed away already since the

1ast association was held but many are yet left to unite in the coming meeting of 1915.

Chapter Four

Civil War Excerpts – 1915

Joseph N. McCormick’s 1915 History of Starke County includes many references to Civil War

military records in his biography section. It is not always the biography’s namesake who was the

veteran. Sometimes it is a son or a father or other close relative. In any case, the impact of the

war on early Starke County men and women makes for interesting and informational reading.

We have to remember these biographies were written in 1915, fifty years after the war ended.

But they are the first written historical account about Starke County in the Civil War.

Charles Laramore, page 232… and is past commander of William Landon Post of the Grand

Army of the Republic, No. 290. His membership in the Grand Army is the result of service

during the Civil War. Though a very young man at the beginning of the struggle, towards its

close he enlisted in Company H of the One Hundred and Fifty-first Regiment of Indiana Infantry,

and was out for eight months, being largely employed in guard duty during the last year of the

war.

Adam G. W. Sherman, page 238 …Upon President Lincoln's first call for volunteers he

enlisted in Company I, Ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Colonel Milroy. The

regiment went to Virginia, and there was soon called upon to participate in the engagements at

Greenbrier and Cheat Mountain. From that time onward Mr. Sherman was found with his

command in all of the battles in which it participated during his three years of service, save that

for two months he was confined to the hospital, after having received an accidental wound by the

explosion from his own gun of a cartridge shell, a fragment of which destroyed his right eye.

This was at the time of the Atlanta campaign, incidental to which he was drying and caring for

shells that had been soaked in a rainstorm, the explosion of one of these shells causing his injury.

Among the especially desperate battles in which Mr. Sherman took part were those of Shiloh and

Pittsburg Landing, in the former of which he narrowly escaped death, as a Confederate bullet

plowed through his scalp but failed to break his skull. He proved a faithful and valiant soldier

and his record in the war will reflect enduring honor upon his name. In later years Mr. Sherman

perpetuated the more gracious memories and associations of his military career through active

affiliation with the Grand Army of the Republic.

William Spiker, page 241… Mr. Spiker, though a Southerner by birth, was a valiant soldier of

the Union during the Civil War, in which he participated in many important engagements, his

chief incidental ill luck being the receiving of a severe wound in the leg. He took part in the

second battle of Bull Run, the battle of Antietam and that of Lookout Mountain, besides many

other engagements marking the progress of the great conflict, in connection with which he had

many narrow escapes.

William Windisch, page 252… While a resident of Nevada, Ohio, William Windisch

signalized his loyalty to the land of his adoption by tendering his aid in defense of the Union,

soon after the outbreak of the Civil war. He enlisted in the Thirty-fourth Ohio Volunteer

Infantry, with which he served eighteen months and took part in a number of engagements. He

was captured in one of the battles in which he took part and was held for some time in

Andersonville Prison, his exchange finally being effected. He received his honorable discharge at

the close of his term of enlistment and in later years was affiliated with the Grand Army of the

Republic. Of the three sons and four daughters Captain Windisch of this review is the youngest,

and all of the other children are still living, all having married and reared children with one

exception and five of the number being still residents of Starke County.

Charles Tuesberg, page 258… Charles H. Tuesburg, father of C. Elmer Tuesburg, was born at

Tremont, fourteen miles south of Peoria, Illinois, in December, 1844, and was still a lad when his

father died, in 1859, and was one of three sons and an adopted son left to be reared by the

widowed mother. The two older sons enlisted for service in the Civil war, in 1861, and the foster

son served efficiently as an army surgeon for a period of six years, while Capt. Hanson, the

eldest son, met a soldier's death in the advance on Corinth, during Sherman's march to the sea

being shot from ambush while leading his company. He was unmarried. Charles H. Tuesburg

served as a lieutenant of Company C, One Hundred Thirty-ninth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer

Infantry, during the latter part of the war, where he had an excellent record.

Moses Tomlinson, page 264… Mr. Daniel is a son of Joseph and Rachel (Tomlinson) Daniel,

the respective families having been founded in North Carolina and Old Virginia in an early day.

The maternal grandfather of Mr. Daniel was Moses Tomlinson, who was born in North Carolina

and who became a pioneer settler in Ohio, where he became a prominent and influential citizen

of the community in which he established his home. He was a staunch abolitionist and in the

climacteric period leading up to and culminating in the Civil war he was a zealous conductor on

the historic “underground railroad" by the means of which many slaves were aided in obtaining

their freedom, his home having been a "station" on this famous system. In Ohio was solemnized

the marriage of Mr. Daniel's parents and they continued to reside on their homestead farm, in

Highland County, that state, until the close of their lives, the mother having passed away at the

age of forty-seven years and the father having been sixty-five years old when he was summoned

to the life eternal.

HENRY ROBBINS, page 266…Upon his admission to the bar Mr. Robbins engaged in the

practice of his profession in the Village of Berrien Springs, which was then the judicial center of

Berrien County, Michigan, and in the same year he was drafted for service in the Civil war, but

he was soon called into the Government’s civil service, in which connection, after his removal to

La Porte, Indiana, in 1864, he was associated with others in exposing and defeating the plot

against the life of Governor Morton of this state. He later tendered his services as a soldier in the

ranks, but the Government authorities requested him to continue in the civil service, with which

he continued to be identified until the close of the war.

James Short, page 279… Mr. Short was born in California Township, Starke County, Indiana,

January 3, 1870, and belongs to an old and honored Delaware family, although his parents,

James and Christiana (Westhaver) Short, were natives, respectively, of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

After their marriage they began housekeeping on an unimproved farm in California Township,

Starke County, and Mr. Short was engaged in farming until the outbreak of the Civil war, at

which time he enlisted in Company D, Twenty-ninth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, an

organization with which he served three years, participating in some of the hardest-fought and

most sanguinary battles of the great struggle between the North and the South, including Shiloh

and Chickamauga, and receiving one of the enemy's bullets in his left side and carrying it to his

grave. His record was a particularly gallant one, stamping him as a brave and faithful soldier, and

one who was admired by his comrades and esteemed by his officers.

Frank Hay, page 290… He is a charter member of Knox Lodge No. 296, Knights of Pythias,

and was formerly a member of the Sons of Veterans, his father having fought as a soldier

through the Civil war.

Oscar Rockwell, page 291… Captain Rockwell, of this review, being the eldest of the number,

four of the sons having served as loyal soldiers of the Union in the Civil war and two of the

number having sacrificed their lives in the cause - Wallace H. and Edward S. Wallace H.

Rockwell died in historic old Andersonville Prison, one of the most miserable of the prison pens

of the Confederacy, on the 11th of August,1864, his capture having been effected at the battle of

Chickamauga, Tennessee, and his death having resulted from hardships endured in the field and

in the prison. He was a young man at the time of his demise, as was also his brother, Edward S.

The latter served as a member of the Twelfth Indiana Cavalry from 1864 until the spring of 1865,

when he died in a hospital at Mobile, Alabama, as the result of illness contracted while at the

post of duty. Another brother, Alfonso. P., served during virtually the entire period of the war, as

a member of the One Hundred and Twenty-third Indiana Volunteer Infantry, with which he

participated in many of the important battles and minor engagements marking the progress of the

great internecine conflict.

… and responded to President Lincoln's call for volunteers. On the 11th of September, 1861, he

enlisted as a private in Company C, Twenty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, commanded by

Col. John F. Miller, with Silas F. Allen as captain of Company C. Private Rockwell was soon

afterward made corporal of his company and he forthwith proceeded with his command to the

front, the regiment being assigned to the Army of the Ohio. The first engagement in which he

took part was at Green River, Kentucky, and later he was with his regiment in the memorable

battle of Shiloh, the regiment having been a part of the central division of the Army of the Ohio,

with Gen. Thomas Woods as brigade commander. Thereafter the history of his gallant regiment

stands as the virtual record of the remainder of his military career, which was marked by ability,

lofty patriotism - and utmost fidelity, a record that shall ever reflect honor upon his name. He

participated in the battle of Chickamauga, where his brother Wallace H., who was a corporal in

the same regiment, was captured. At the battle of Stone's River Captain Rockwell received a

gun-shot wound in his right leg, below the knee, and his injury caused him to be confined to a

hospital until he recovered sufficiently to rejoin his regiment on the stage of action. At the

expiration of his three years' term of enlistment he re-enlisted, as a veteran, and his entire service

covered more than four years. He received his honorable discharge December 2, 1865, as captain

of Company F, Twenty-ninth Indiana Veteran Volunteer Infantry, his commission as captain

having been received after his participation in the battle of Chattanooga. The captain has

vitalized the more pleasing memories and associations of his military career by active affiliation

first with the John W. McCune Post No. 587, San Pierre, disbanded, and later transferred to

Daniel Lake Post No. 571, North Judson, disbanded, and transferred to Langdon Post No. 290,

Grand Army of the Republic, at. Knox, Starke County. He was a charter member of McCune

Post and is active in the affairs of his post, in which he has been prominent and influential, as

evidenced by his service as its commander.

John C. Larrew, page 294… Mr. Larrew was one of those who wielded the implements of

destruction as well as those of construction, for he fought bravely as a soldier during the Civil

war, and when he returned to the pursuits of peace so governed himself in a variety of activities

that he won the esteem and respect of all with whom he came into contact.

… About this time the Civil war broke across the country in all its fury, calling all the patriotic

sons of Indiana to the defense of the Union, and Mr. Larrew soon joined a body of youths from

his locality and became a member of Company D, Twenty-second Regiment, Indiana Volunteer

Infantry, with which organization he served until the close of hostilities. Mr. Larrew took no part

in any serious engagements, and at all times had the record of a good soldier, faithful in the

performance of duty and winning the respect of his officers and the esteem and friendship of his

comrades.

Henry C. Hisey, page 308… where he continued to reside until his death at the National

Soldiers' Home at Marion, Indiana, his widow having died in the prime of life when her

daughter, Mrs. Pettis, was young. Mr. Hisey served as a valiant soldier in an Illinois regiment

during the Civil war, was a democrat in his political allegiance, and was a zealous member of the

Methodist Church.

Mathias Hepner, page 312… Mr. Hepner was a valiant soldier of the Union in the Civil war

and for the past, sixteen years has been a mail carrier at Knox.

Sylvanus Terry, page 321… During the Civil war, while not an active participant as a soldier,

he did much to aid the Union cause, having been an unwavering abolitionist.

… Their eldest son, George, fought through three years of the Civil War, as sergeant of a

company in the Thirteenth Indiana Cavalry, and received his honorable discharge six months

before the close of hostilities.

Isaac Bascom, page 326… Isaac Bascom was one of the valiant men from Indiana who bore

arms to protect the Union. He enlisted from La Porte County in 1861, but was credited to Starke

County. He enlisted in Company D, Twenty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and his regiment

was assigned to the Army of the Cumberland. He participated in a number of the battles

memorable in the nation's struggle; including the battles of Shiloh, Missionary Ridge, Siege of

Atlanta or the one day's fighting around Atlanta. He was slightly wounded twice. He served his

country three years and received his discharge and then veteranized. He enlisted in September,

1861, and received his honorable and final discharge in November, 1865, and when he died he

was drawing the Sherwood pension of $1 per day.

Joseph Miller, page 334… He remained under the parental roof until the outbreak of the great

Civil war called him with other youths of his locality to enlist under the banner of his country,

but unfortunately all records of his war service have been lost. It may be accepted as a fact,

however, that this young private performed bravely and faithfully the duties devolving upon him

during his three years of service, for his afterlife, in civic affairs, was always characterized by a

courageous and thorough completion of whatever task he undertook.

Theodore Johnson, page 335… During the Civil war Mr. Johnson served as a member of the

Ninety-third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, for three years, in the command of General

Thomas, and at the battle of Chickamauga, Tennessee, was wounded in the arm by a gunshot. He

took part in many of the sanguine engagements of the great struggle, including Franklin,

Nashville, Stone River and the battles incidental to the Atlanta campaign. He always maintained

an interest in his old comrades and took a leading part in the work of the Soldiers' Relief

Commission and up to the time of his death belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic.

James G. Heliman, page 339…When the Civil War precipitated on the nation he made two

unsuccessful attempts to enlist in defense of the Union, and on the third attempt he was able to

overcome the opposition of his parents and to enlist as a private in the One Hundred and Ninety-

eighth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, the family having returned to the Keystone State while

he was still a youth. He served three years as a faithful and valiant soldier, took part in many

engagements and in the battle at Five Forks, Virginia, in the spring of 1865, he was severely

wounded in the side, his life having been saved through the deflection of the bullet by a

Testament which had been placed in his pocket by his devoted mother. Mr. Heilman was with his

command at the surrender of General Lee, at Appomattox, and at the close of the war he received

his honorable discharge, his entire service having been faithfully accorded in the rank of "high

private”. In later years he vitalized the more pleasing memories of his military career through his

active and appreciative affiliation with the Grand Army of the Republic.

J. Frank Chapman, page 345… The name has here stood exponent of lofty patriotism, as one

generation has followed another on to the stage of life's activities, and it was given to J. Frank

Chapman to represent Starke County as one of Indiana's gallant and valorous soldiers in the Civil

war, in which he made a record that shall ever reflect honor upon his name.

page 347… When the Civil war was precipitated upon a divided nation, J. Frank Chapman laid

aside the labors and responsibilities or peace to tender his aid in defense of the Union. At the age

of sixteen years he enlisted in Company K, Twelfth Indiana Cavalry, commanded by Colonel

Edward S. Anderson. The regiment was assigned to Wilson's cavalry command, under Major

Calkins and in the division commanded by General Thomas. Mr. Chapman lived up to the full

tension of the great struggle between the North and the South, participated in many engagements

and showed his fidelity and valor by undertaking specially hazardous duties. For some time he

was with his regiment in opposing the forces under General Hood and the last important

engagement in which he took part was at Mobile, Alabama. In the very height of this battle, on

account of his equestrian skill, his fleetness of foot and his versatility in expedients, Mr.

Chapman was selected by Major Calkins as carrier of messages and dispatches from General

Canvey to the headquarters of General Thomas. He made several dangerous trips in this capacity

and never failed to deliver his messages in good order. On his last trip he was told by General

Thomas that it would not be necessary for him to attempt the same again, as the enemy were

being well surrounded and would soon be captured, which proved to be true. Mr. Chapman is an

appreciative and valued member of William Landon Post, Grand Army of the Republic, in Knox,

the post having been named in honor of William Landon, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Chapman, this

gallant soldier having been killed at the battle of Chickamauga, where an exploding shell literally

tore his heart from his body. Mr. Chapman's brother, Milton H., likewise served as a valiant

soldier in an Indiana regiment, as did also Edward Case, a half-brother of Mrs. Chapman. Mr.

Case was captured at Chickamauga and died in the historic Libby Prison. In politics Mr.

Chapman has ever been a stalwart supporter of the cause of the republican party, though he has

had no predilection for public office.

William P. Chapman, page 346… William P. Chapman united with the republican party at

the time of its organization and during the period of the Civil War he gave effective service in

the office of provost marshal of Starke County. He was the first man to be chosen sheriff of this

county by regular popular election, served as county commissioner for a number of years and

was the incumbent of this position at the time of the building of the courthouse known as the old

wooden courthouse, which is still standing. It was built before the Civil War and preceded the

present county building.

Benjamin F. Howard, page 357… Mr. Howard for a number of years lived at Knox,. in

Starke County, and finally moved to Gulfport, Mississippi, where he is now retired at the age of

seventy-one. He spent nearly all his active career as a farmer, and was unusually successful.

During the Civil war he went out with an Ohio regiment for service in the Union army, and

though enduring many hardships in various campaigns, escaped without injury.

James E. Tanner, page 367… prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, in which James E. Tanner

enlisted for service in the Union army, as a member of the Third Ohio Cavalry. His service of

more than three years was characterized by an excellent record for bravery and faithful

performance of duty, and while he escaped wounds or capture, it was a number of years before

he regained his full health and fully recovered from the hardships and privations of army life.

James C. Potter, page 396…Mr. Potter was a soldier of.the Union during the Civil war, and

the military record of his family is exceptional and of extreme interest.

page 398… James C. Potter, one of the youngest in the family, was born in Coshocton County,

Ohio, June 22, 1833, grew up in his native county, and in early manhood enlisted at New

Philadelphia, Ohio, in August,1861, in Company D of the Fifty-second Ohio Infantry. As a

private he continued with the armies of the North in various campaigns, and gave three years and

nine months to the cause. His command was part of General McCook's division in the great

armies which finally subdued the Confederate states in the Mississippi Valley and the lower

South, and he was in General Sherman's army in its march to the sea after the fall of Atlanta.

Previously he was one of the men that charged up Lookout Mountain in the battle above the

clouds, and scaled that height without a single wound. At Peach Tree Creek in Georgia he was

shot in the shoulder. These are only a few brief incidents of his long service as a soldier and he

was honorably discharged in February, 1865.

Michael Oberlin, page 428… At Lima, in that state, he enlisted in the First Ohio Volunteer

Infantry and saw active service during the closing months of the great war. His regiment became

attached as body guard to General Sherman, and followed that splendid leader on his march from

Atlanta to the sea, and was afterwards stationed at St. Louis. Samuel Oberlin had unusual

opportunities for knowing the great Union leader, since for many hours, day and night, he stood

as guard before the tent of General Sherman He served out his enlistment of one year, or until the

close of the war, and was gone about ten months altogether.

James Peele, page 451… It should be noted that the father of John Peele had been a

slaveholder in North Carolina in the days long prior to the Civil war, but that his convictions led

him to bring his slaves to Indiana, where he gave them their freedom. Upon coming to Starke

County, James Peele resided on a farm in Center Township for two years and then bought a tract

of land on which is now situated the Village of North Judson, this county.

James Graham, page 461… father of John A., was born in Pennsylvania in 1835, the next to

the youngest in a family of four sons and three daughters. Several of the sons gave active service

to the Union during the Civil war, and James went through that struggle as a member of the One

Hundred and Twenty-ninth Pennsylvania Regiment of Cavalry. Among other campaigns in

which he participated was the mareh of Sherman from Atlanta to the sea, and he saw a great deal

of hard fighting in the South. One of his brothers, Rowe, was killed while in the army, and

another brother, William, went all through the war but was wounded in the right leg.

Dewitt C. Wamsley, page 465… until his removal to Starke County, save for the period that

he represented his native state as a gallant soldier of the Union in the Civil war. In 1862, at the

age of eighteen years, he enlisted as a private in Company D, Forty-eighth Indiana Volunteer

Infantry, commanded by Colonel Eddy, who was a resident of South Bend. At the head of

Company D was Captain Wilson, and the first lieutenant of the company was Jasper Packard, a

special friend of Mr. Wamsley. With his command Mr. Wamsley proceeded to the stage of

polemic activities and the regiment reinforced the Federal troops at Fort Donelson, Tennessee,

where, as history records, many engagements were fought. The Forty-eighth Indiana finally went

to Iuka, Mississippi, where Mr. Wamsley endured a severe attack of typhoid fever and lay for

two weeks under most depressing conditions, with practically no shelter save that afforded by

oak trees. His strong constitution was not proof against this grave experience and he was finally

brought to the North and placed in a hospital at Terre Haute, Indiana, where he remained several

weeks, his physical disability finally gaining him a furlough and later an honorable discharge. He

remained at home until the autumn of 1864, when his patriotic ardor prompted his reenlistment,

as a member of the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, with which

command he continued in service until the close of the war, his honorable discharge having been

received in September, 1865.

page 466… His more pleasing memories and associations of the Civil war are vitalized through

his affiliation with the Grand Army of the Republic.

John C. Mickow, page 479… when the Civil war broke out enlisted for service in Company

K, Forty-fourth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He had an excellent record as a soldier,

participating in numerous hard-fought engagements, and on several occasions narrowly escaped

death, at one time being knocked down by a musket ball which struck and nearly penetrated his

knapsack.

John A. Roose, page 489… Circumstances rendered it impossible for him to enter the service

of the Union at the inception of the Civil war, but on the 16th of April, 1865, he enlisted in

Company K, Fifty-third Indiana Volunteer Infantry, William L. Vestal having been colonel of

the regiment and Edward Knight captain of Company K. The command was assigned to duty in

the South and proved its fidelity and loyalty in no uncertain way, though it was not involved in

many engagements, owing to the fact that its service at the time was in the closing months of the

war.

Wilbur W. Dye , page 507… Wilbur W. Dye is a scion of one of the old and distinguished

families of Virginia and one of his ancestors went forth from the historic Old Dominion

commonwealth to render gallant service as a patriot soldier in the war of the Revolution. In the

patrician old regime in the South prior to the Civil war the paternal grandfather of Mr. Dye was

an extensive slaveholder, but at the inception of the agitation against the institution of slavery he

voluntarily freed all of his slaves, and to the older ones he gave the houses in which they lived.

When the war was precipitated he was thus able consistently to maintain a neutral standpoint.

Samuel Koontz, Sr., page 514… He was an abolitionist with regard to the slavery question,

and during the Civil war proved a valuable friend to the wives and widows of the soldiers who

were at the front, donating liberally of flour and other provisions, and at one time gave $500 to

make up a carload of provisions and other supplies sent to the boys in the South.

Andrew J. Davis, page 517… Andrew J. Davis was for eight years a conductor on the Big

Four Railway, and was for many years in railway service. During the Civil war he served more

than three years as a Union soldier, and held a non-commissioned office. It was the hardships of

army life that shortened his life, since he contracted disease in the South and died at the age of

about forty-five.

Andrew J. Davis was a man who deserves much credit for the gallant fight he made in providing

a place for himself in the world, since he was depending on his own resources from the age of six

years and earned his way through the world from that time. His widow lived to be seventy-five

years of age, and was the mother of four sons and four daughters, all the sons being farmers, and

two of the daughters are still living.

Charles Lish, page 525… Mr. Lish was born and reared in Marshall County, Indiana, and was

too young to enlist when the Civil war broke out, but in 1863, when only fifteen years of age,

managed to get himself accepted by the recruiting officers and joined an Indiana regiment of

volunteer cavalry. With this organization he served for two years, or until the close of the war,

and, while he was never captured or wounded, he strained his back while in the service, and from

this injury he still suffers.

John Raschka, page 528… Another fact which will always be remembered to his credit, and of

which his descendants will be increasingly proud, was his service of more than three years in the

Union army during the Civil war. He enlisted from Starke County, and was one of the private

soldiers who did their part with fidelity and insured the integrity of the Union.

George Anderson, page 534… When the dark cloud of civil war cast its pall over the national

horizon the intrinsic patriotism of Mr. Anderson was roused to responsive protest, and on the 22d

of October, 1862, at the age of twenty years, he enlisted as a private in Company D, Twenty-

ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Col. John Miller, and with Captain McMoorein

command of Company D. Mr. Anderson proceeded with his regiment to the front and he

continued in active service as a loyal and valiant soldier of the Union for three years and two

days, within this period having taken part in many engagements and having lived up to the full

tension of the great conflict through which national integrity was preserved. He received his

honorable discharge in the City of Atlanta, Georgia, after having taken part in the Atlanta

campaign and having participated in the battles of Chickamauga and Liberty Gap, in which latter

engagement a bullet penetrated his clothing, this being one of numerous narrow escapes that

attended his military career

Joseph Shaw, page 537… Joseph Shaw was about of age when he accompanied the family to

Starke County and continued to be engaged in the cultivation of his land until he enlisted for

service during the Civil war. After two months in the Union Army he contracted a severe case of

the measles and was sent home on a furlough and not asked to return to his regiment.

Frank Heilman, page 566… James Heilman was one of the patriotic sons of the old Keystone

State who gave valiant service as a soldier of the Union in the Civil war, and he was with his

command at the front during the greater part of the great conflict between the states of the North

and the South. As a youth he enlisted in the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth Pennsylvania

Volunteer Infantry, and as a private in the ranks he made a record for faithful and gallant service

in many engagements, the while he endured to the full the tension of incidental hardships and

perils. In the battle at Five Forks, Virginia, in the spring of 1865, he received a gunshot wound,

and in earlier service he had many narrow escapes from capture and injury. In later years he

became one of the appreciative and honored members of the post of the Grand Army of the

Republic at Knox, the judicial center of Starke County, and his comrades in the organization

called upon him to serve in various official positions, including that of commander of the post.

William F. Brabrook, page 572… He then went to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and later to

Charleston, South Carolina, and at the latter place took steerage passage for Boston. While a

resident of that city the Civil War broke out, and he enlisted as a private in the Eighteenth

Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, an organization with which he remained for eleven

months, seeing much hard and active service. At the end of this time Mr. Brabrook suffered a

rupture, which rendered him incapable of further service, and he was honorably discharged from

the army.

George M. Veach, page 587… Mr. Veach served two years as a valiant soldier of the Union

in the Civil war, in which he participated in twenty-six battles, including those of Resaca,

Chattanooga and Gettysburg.

Walter Lightcap, page 594… On September 21, 1861, when nineteen years of age, Mr.

Lightcap enlisted as a private in the Twenty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and was a soldier

throughout the remainder of the war. His term of enlistment was for three years, and after his

honorable discharge he reenlisted and became a veteran. He was honorably discharged from

service December 2, 1865, several months after the close of actual hostilities between the North

and the South. He received his discharge at Marietta, Georgia. In the course of four years he had

participated in many of the historic campaigns throughout the South. Among the better known

battles in which he engaged were those at Shiloh, Stone River and Chickamauga. Though

frequently in the midst of the heavy fighting, he escaped with only one slight wound and was

never taken prisoner nor spent a day in a hospital. He came out of the war with the rank of first

sergeant

Christian Holderman, page 605… Christian E. Holdeman received only a limited public

school education, and since the year 1861 has done a man's work, running a threshing machine

thirteen out of fourteen years. He was seventeen years old, and had been working for three years,

when he was drafted for service in the Union army, in 1864, and shouldered his musket to march

to the front. The regiment, however, was found to not be needed and never got past Indianapolis,

and Mr. Holdeman returned to the home farm, where he worked until April, 1870. In 1876 he

migrated to Starke County, Indiana, and located in Oregon Township upon a tract of eighty acres

of practically wild land, where the experiences which had been undergone by his father were

duplicated.

William H. Replogle , page 622… At the present time, when the world is "in the midst of

wars, and rumors of war," and Europe is being devastated by the sword, the citizens of the

United States may well congratulate themselves that here abide peace and prosperity ,but

incidentally must come to them freshened appreciation of the services of the noble "boys in blue"

who here fought valiantly and with all patriotic ardor for the preservation of the Union during the

climacteric epoch of the Civil war. The ranks of these soldiers of the Republic are being rapidly

decimated by the one invincible foe, Death, and those who remain now feel the weight of years,

the majority of them with silvered crowns and feeble steps. Well may we pause again to pay

tribute of honor to the valiant soldiers who thus perpetuated the nation’s integrity, and in this

history of Starke County it is specially gratifying to be able to enter a brief review of the career

of William H, Replogle; a venerable and honored citizen of North Judson, for he was a gallant

defender of the Union in the long and weary struggle between the North and the South and is one

of the comparatively small contingent of Civil war veterans still claimed by Starke County, as is

shown by the fact that the Grand Army post of which he was a member recently resigned its

charter by reason of the fact that its membership had dwindled to only four of the old comrades,

he having been one of this number. Mrs. [Elizabeth] Replogle likewise merits special tribute in

this connection, by reason of her loyal and devoted services in nursing and otherwise caring for

Union soldiers during the war and for her deep and abiding interest in that noble and patriotic

organization, the Grand Army of the Republic. She has the honor and distinction of being a full

member of the Fifteenth Regimental Association, having been elected to that honor at the

meeting of the association at Attica, Indiana, in August, 1912; she is the only woman in the state

being so honored. This honor was bestowed for feeding and caring for the soldiers during the

strife and for her consideration of them in the years since. Mr.Replogle was a vigorous and

industrious young farmer of about nineteen years at the time when the dark cloud of civil war

cast its pall over the national horizon, and his intrinsic patriotism and loyalty caused him to

respond to President Lincoln's first call for volunteers. The thundering of the southern guns

against the ramparts of old Fort Sumter, on the 13th of April, 1861, roused the sons of the North

to responsive protest and action, and on the 22d of that month Mr. Replogle enlisted as a private

in Company B, Fifteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Colonel Wagoner. His

enlistment took place in the City of South Bend, and he proceeded with his command to West

Virginia, where they arrived shortly after the battle of Rich Mountain. The regiment

participating, however, in. the spirited engagement at Philippi and thence proceeded to

Huttonsville, that state, where the command remained entrenched until October, 1861. The

regiment took part in an engagement with the enemy at Greenbriar, West Virginia, on the 31st of

that month. At the time this gallant Indiana regiment appeared for enlistment for the stipulated

term of three months the quota had been filled, so that its members were permitted to enlist for

the full term of three years, so that they girded themselves bravely for a prolonged conflict. From

West Virginia the Sixteenth Indiana proceeded to Louisville, Kentucky, where it became a part

of the command of General Buell, with which it proceeded into Tennessee, here it took part in

the battles of Pittsburgh Landing and Shiloh and where it assisted in driving the Confederate

forces farther to the south. A short time thereafter Mr.Replogle suffered an attack of illness, and

after he had partially recovered he was detailed to hospital service, with which he continued to

be identified a few months. He was then detailed as a private detective in connection with the

secret service, and in this hazardous and responsible position he had innumerable adventures,

severe hardships and many narrow escapes. He assisted in the capture of many desperate men,

especially those engaged in the guerrilla service of the Confederacy, and he continued on this

detail, under Major Fitch, of Michigan, the provost marshal, besides receiving special orders

from Major-General Burbridge, of the Department of Kentucky, to devote his energies

particularly to the capturing of guerrillas. Mr. Replogle thus gave most effective and gallant

service in the detective department during the major part of the war, and was on active duty

during the entire period of the great conflict. After peace was declared he was honorably retired,

on order of the secretary of war, his record having been such as to reflect enduring honor upon

him as a patriot and soldier.

James M. White, page 650… At the first call for troops Mr. White enlisted in Company E,

Nineteenth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry, known as the Highland Guard, a Scotch org-

anization of Chicago Companies A, C, D, E, G and K, as subsequently designated in the

Nineteenth Regiment, Col. John B. Turchin, all of them from Chicago, were sworn into the state

service at Springfield, May 4, 1861, and being then reordered to Chicago, June 3, were organized

with other companies as a regiment, and sworn into the United States service for three years,

June 17. The Nineteenth Regiment was first under Col. John B.Turchin, afterwards brigadier-

general, in various expeditions in Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, scouting, guarding

railroads, engaging the enemy, and doing good service. Its first regular battle was that of Stone

River., where its brave commander, Col. Joseph R. Scott, who had succeeded Turchin, was

mortally wounded. It lost in this bloody engagement, including Capt. Knowlton F. Chandler,

fourteen killed, eighty-three wounded, and eleven missing. Among the wounded were Captains

Murchison and Garriott, and Lieutenants Hunter and Bell. At the stubborn conflict of

Chickamauga the Nineteenth was in the thickest of the fight, and sustained a loss of ten killed,

forty-five wounded and sixteen missing. It also lost two killed and fourteen wounded at

Missionary Ridge. It participated in the Atlanta campaign until June 8, 1864,when it returned to

Chicago and was mustered out June 9th. General Stanley said of this regiment, in a

communication to Governor Yates of Illinois: "It has done its whole duty has borne its share of

danger and toil and come off the field with honor." After its enlistment the regiment was sent at

once to Missouri, thence to Kentucky, and then on to Cincinnati and Louisville, Kentucky. It was

while on this trip that occurred one of the great tragedies of the war, for while the second section

of the train bearing the regiment was crossing Beaver Creek, in Indiana, the bridge went down

under the strain, precipitating many of those in the second section into the waters below, and

killing thirty-two soldiers, who were buried the following day at Cincinnati. In this accident Mr.

White had a very narrow escape. The moving order having been countermanded, the regiment

went to Chickamauga, participating in that battle under General Rosecrans, and later to

Chattanooga, where the regiment was bottled up by the enemy and compelled to battle its way

out. The great part taken by the Nineteenth in the battle of Missionary Ridge is shown in the bas-

relief on the monument of that point. After being mustered out of service Mr. White went to

Wilmington, Delaware, and veteranized in Philadelphia, becoming a member of the Third United

States Veteran Volunteers, in the regular service. Enlisting for one year, the greater part of this

time wasspent in guard duty at Springfield, Illinois, and there he was mustered out of the service

in March, 1866. In all his service to his country covered a period of four years and three months,

and was characterized at all times by devotion to duty and brave and gallant behavior during

action.

Jacob Keiser, page 656… He was only seventeen years of age when he enlisted in Company

D, One Hundred and Forty-fifth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, for service in the Union

army during the Civil war, and continued with that organization 114 days, the greater part of this

time being passed in guard duty at the Arlington Heights, Washington, D. C. Two of his

brothers, Adam and Levi, were members of the Fourth Regiment, Ohio. Volunteer Infantry,

serving three months in 1861 and then reenlisting for three years. Both were seriously wounded

at the awful battle of the Wilderness, yet both recovered and are still living, Levi being a

bachelor and a resident of the National Soldiers' Home, at Dayton, Ohio; and Adam being a

married man with a family and a resident of Columbus City, Indiana.

Julius Hatter, page 668… This well-known retired resident of Knox has been a resident of

Starke County more than half a century, was a soldier during the Civil war, earned the rewards of

industry as a farmer in Center Township, and represents a family that has been identified since

pioneer times in Starke County

page 669… Soon after the death of his parents in 1863, he came to Starke County, Indiana, and

in January, 1864, enlisted with the Twenty-ninth Indiana Infantry and was with the Union forces

until mustered out in December, 1865, several months after the conclusion of the war. He was

with the troops at Chattanooga, but was not present at the hostilities ending with the fall of

Atlanta, and after that was with General Thomas' army in the campaign, against Hood, and his

hardest battle was the great conflict at Nashville in the latter part of 1864, and he afterwards

fought the remnant of Hood's army at Decatur, Alabama.

John L. Marsh, page 671… Impaired health finally led him to abandon the work of his trade

and at the time of the Civil war he entered the Union service, as an attache of the commissary

department, at Camp Denison and Camp Monroe. He was also in service for some time in. the

South, and his marriage occurred within a few months after his return to Cincinnati.

Charles Lange, page 672… He served as a member of an Indiana regiment during the last year

of the Civil war and finally, after his marriage, he purchased a farm in Pulaski County, a property

which he sold at the time of his removal to Starke County.

Andrew J. Laramore, page 685… He was but sixteen years of age when, February 22, 1865,

he enlisted for service in Company H, One Hundred and Fifty-first Regiment, Indiana Volunteer

Infantry, for service during the Civil War, and for seven months was engaged largely in guard

duty, his seventeenth birthday being passed on guard duty at Nashville, Tennessee

page 686… Mr. Laramore is now the youngest soldier of the Civil war living in Starke County,

and is an active member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Post No.290, of which he has been

quartermaster for three years.

Elijah W. Geiselman, page 724… He participated as a private in the Civil war, belonging to

the One Hundred and Fifty-first Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, out his service occurred

in the latter part of the struggle and he took part in no active engagements

John T.B. Nave, page 737… He was still a resident of his native state when the Civil war

broke out, and was impressed into the Confederate service, in which he was compelled to serve a

year, although his sympathies were with the North and he had two brothers in the Union service,

Lieut. Daniel and Abraham. In order to escape he secured a Union uniform, made his way at

once to his home and joined his family, and was able to reach the North after a perilous and

exciting journey. Abraham Nave died in Tennessee, while Lieut. Daniel Nave still resides in

Carter County, where he is successfully engaged in a mercantile business.

Starke County GAR Posts

Many Union Civil War Veterans belonged to an organization formed after the war known as the

Grand Army of the Republic. Overall, about 40% of all Union veterans joined the GAR.

There were three GAR Posts here in Starke County: the William Landon Post 290 in Knox (1884

- 1938); the Daniel Lake Post 571 in North Judson (1890 - 1914); and the John W. McCune Post

587 in San Pierre (1891 - 1903).

All three Starke County Posts were named after local county men who died during the war.

William Landon was killed at Shiloh, TN on April 7, 1862 and is presumed to be buried there.

Daniel Lake is buried in Pioneer Cemetery, and

John McCune is buried in San Pierre Cemetery.

In 1868, the GAR issued an order for all Posts to

set aside May 30th for remembering the

sacrifices of fallen comrades, thereby beginning

the celebration of Decoration Day. The GAR

became very powerful politically and was

especially active in pension legislation and

soldier homes for disabled veterans.

A photo dated about 1930 shows the last three

members of the Knox GAR Post. They are from

left to right: John E. Collins, John Giles and

Joseph Frank Chapman. The boy is Michael

Bonner, John E. Collins’ great-grandson.

When the last member, John Giles, died in 1938,

Knox Post #290 was permanently closed.

Knox William Landon Post #290

The William Landon Post #290 was organized in Knox in 1884 and closed in 1938 after its last

member, John Giles, died. We have copies of six documents that pertain to the Knox G.A.R.

Post:

The Application for a Charter dated January 29, 1884; the Charter dated February 6, 1884; a

letter dated February 8, 1884 from Past Post Commander, W.H. Whited of Argos regarding a

meeting with Knox members; a list of officers and members July 4, 1894, the Post Chaplains

The Post Chaplains Memorial Day Report for 1934 was signed by John Giles. It indicates the

post did observe Memorial Day Services. It shows just one member participated, and just one

cemetery was visited. That member was John Giles.

John Giles

John Giles was the last living member of the Knox

William Landon Post 290, when he died in 1938. He

may have been the last active member in 1934, as

well.

The Post Patriotic Instructor’s Annual Report for

1934 was also signed by John Giles. Its sixteen

questions pertain mainly to the observance of

patriotic days by local schools and display of the

U.S. flag.

The William Landon GAR Post 290 in Knox

officially closed upon John Giles’ death.

North Judson Daniel Lake Post # 571

The North Judson Daniel Lake G.A.R. Post # 571 was chartered in 1890 and closed in 1914. We

San Pierre John W. McCune Post 587

John W. McCune G.A.R. Post 587 was chartered in 1891 and closed in 1903. We are in

possession of copies of four documents pertaining to the San Pierre Post:

The minutes of a meeting on March 7, 1891 to organize a G.A.R. post in San Pierre to be called

the W.T. Sherman Post; an Application for a Charter dated March 14, 1891; the Charter dated

March 20, 1891; and a letter dated February 7, 1903 listing the books and charter being returned

presumably to the Indiana headquarters of the GAR. William Sherman was a well known Union

General during the war.

Apparently between March 7 and March 14, 1891, it was decided to call the post the John W.

McCune Post instead of W. T. Sherman. John W. McCune had died during the war and was

buried in the San Pierre Cemetery.

Chapter Six

Civil War Veterans Buried in Starke County

William Frederick Windisch joined the Union Army in 1864. At the time, he was 34 years old,

married with four children and living in Ohio. A cabinetmaker and farmer, he had come to

America from Wurtenberg, Germany in 1853. William was recognized for "distinguished

service" for his participation in a number of engagements with the enemy.

The Windisch family moved to Starke County in the

1870s and established a farm just east of Knox. Later, he

donated part of his farm to the Crown Hill Cemetery

Association. As president of the association, William

oversaw the burial of numerous fellow Civil War veterans

in the cemetery.

The following information was extracted from the

Veterans’ Grave Registration prepared by the Works

Project Administration (WPA) and American Legion in

1939.

The majority of the veterans recorded in this grave

registration served in the Civil War due to the timing of

the project; however the cards also include veterans of the

War of 1812, Mexican War, Spanish American War and

World War One. For the purposes of this account, we

have only included those veterans who appear to have

served in the Civil War.

William Frederick Windisch

No information was found about the exact process used to create the Veterans’ Grave

Registration. There appear to be two slightly different cards that were used. One seems to be

from the American Legion. The other is presumed to be from the WPA.

Simple hand drawn cemetery plat maps were included with the original cards, even for those

cemeteries that did not list any veteran, i.e., Evangelical Union Cemetery in Railroad Township.

This leads one to believe even those cemeteries were walked and searched for veterans.

Our account does not contain all the fields available; for example, grave locations are not shown,

as many conflict with more recent records. If this is of interest, researchers are encouraged to

view the original cards or their microfilm.

As noted earlier, some specific data, such as birth and death dates, may be in conflict with other

sources. There are also the typical differences in the spelling of some names.

A number of oddities show up when comparing various burial records and searching cemeteries.

Wallace H. Rockwell has two tombstones. One is located in the San Pierre Cemetery and the

other is at the National Cemetery at Andersonville, Georgia. Wallace died of anasarca August 6,

1864 at Andersonville. A review by the National Park Service indicates the San Pierre tombstone

must be a memorial marker only.

George A. Anderson is buried at Fletcher Cemetery in Oregon Township, while a G. A.

Anderson is buried at Oregon Township Cemetery. Only one George A. Anderson enlisted from

that area. He used a Walkerton post office as his address, indicating he might have lived near

Koontz Lake in Oregon Township. Are these two men the same person? We have not been able

answer that question and have left both in our records.

In another example, Vine Welsh is said to be buried in an unmarked grave at the Washington

Township Cemetery according to the WPA Veterans Grave Index. Yet, a Vine Welsh is buried in

the Gross Cemetery about a mile away in Marshall County with a marker. That marker was

ordered in 1890 by the Knox GAR nearly 20 years after Vine died.

In the decades after the close of the war, the GAR

attempted to place tombstones on the graves of all

unmarked Civil War Union Veterans. There were

perhaps as many as two dozen ordered for veterans

in Starke County. All of these stones have a

similar appearance, as they were ordered from

either Gross Brothers in Lee, Massachusetts or

Vermont Marble Company in Proctor, Vermont.

Abram Haines tombstone (shown to the left) was

ordered from Gross Brothers July 11, 1893 by

Knox GAR Post 290. Abram died September 5,

1868 and is buried in Washington Township

Cemetery (Osborn Cemetery).

Abram served in Company D 48th

Regiment

Indiana Infantry as a Private.

A group of men from Walkerton, Indiana led by Norm Saul have helped family members in

Starke County replace a number of damaged and missing military markers at Oregon Twp

Cemetery, Lerch Cemetery, Bass Lake Cemetery and Crown Hill Cemetery.

Nathan Guernsey’s new

marker at Crown Hill

Cemetery in Knox is

shown to the right.

Nathan was a 38 year old

farmer in Washington

Twp. with a wife and four

children when he enlisted.

We suspect he might have

died so soon after the war

ended from injuries or

health complications.

Replacement markers for

Union veterans have a

rounded top, while Confederate veterans (see Chapter Ten) have a sharp pointed top on their new

markers.

Union veterans who were members of a GAR post had a metal GAR marker placed at their

tombstone. The top of the rod included a holder for a small U.S. Flag.

After more than 140 years, many of these are missing or broken.

The following pages list 378 Civil War veterans buried in Starke

County according to the Veterans’ Grave Registration prepared by

the WPA in 1939. It is no doubt incomplete. There are unknown

graves in nearly every cemetery in Starke County. Some may belong

to veterans who died and were buried with only a wooden marker or

small boulder to mark their location.

A few of the markers or tombstones recorded in 1939 can no longer be found, for example Lent

(Leonard) Collins at the Bass Lake Cemetery. See Chapter Nine for a short story about Leonard

Collins.

Chapter Seven

The Early History of Starke County

John W. Kurtz - 1947

In 1947, John W. Kurtz, a retired Knox businessman, researched the early history of Starke

County and wrote a series of articles for the newspaper. The endeavor may have been undertaken

to generate interest in the county’s upcoming centennial in 1950.

In Chapters 10 and 12 of his history, John lists a number of Civil War Veterans. Many that he

had personally known, others that he had heard about, all of whom had since passed away by

1947.

Mr. Kurtz lists one hundred thirty-three Civil War Veterans, but, interestingly, thirty-eight do not

show up in any of our other lists. We do not doubt the accuracy of Kurtz’s list. It is simply an

indication of how illusive finding every veteran that touched our county can be.

The use of nicknames or middle names may account for some of them. Others may be deserving

of a military marker that was somehow overlooked.

Some names, such as Thomas Fay, Daniel Foltz, Henry Robbins, Charles Lundin, Willoughby

McCormick, John McGill, Oliver Musselman and Joshua Prettyman, are familiar to Starke

County.

We know, for example, that Henry Robbins made his mark on the county and then moved to

Plymouth, where he is presumed to be buried.

Memoirs from the Civil War

Each of the 377 known Civil War Veterans buried in Starke County has a story to tell. Some

served but a few months before being wounded or taking sick. Others served several years

through terrible conditions, constant marches to new battle fields and the ever present likelihood

of being killed or wounded. This chapter presents portions of the diaries of two Starke County

veterans.

William H. Spiker

Most knew William H. Spiker as a successful Starke County farmer, builder and carpenter. He

and his wife, Nancy Hardesty, had moved their family to Center Township in 1887 from Ohio.

They had lived and been married in West Virginia after the war before moving to Ohio. At the

start of the Civil War, West Virginia was not yet a state and was part of Virginia.

Some knew of William’s valiant service to the Union during the

Civil War because of his membership in the local Knox GAR

Post. During William’s five years in the Union Army, he

participated in numerous significant battles, including Cross

Keys, the 2nd

Battle of Bull Run, Antietam and Look Out

Mountain. He enlisted in Company H, 3rd

Regiment, West

Virginia Volunteers June 26, 1861.

He was discharged May 22, 1866 from the 6th

Cavalry, which

saw duty during Indian uprisings in Kansas after the war ended.

During his service, William received a severe leg wound, which

required attention the rest of his life.

William kept a diary of his experiences in the war, which has been preserved by his great-

grandson, James W. Shilling of Knox, Indiana. The month of August 1862 has been transcribed

in this chapter.

It covers the 2nd

Battle of Bull Run and the days leading up to the main battle on August 29 and

30th. During this time, William was a member of Milroy’s Independent Brigade, 1st Army Corps,

General Pope’s Army of Virginia.

General John Pope’s orders were to engage and delay the forward movement of the Confederate

forces under the command of General Stonewall Jackson until additional Union forces could be

brought together. The battle took place just 25 miles outside Washington D.C.

Battlefield statistics tell the story of the win for the Confederacy: Union; 1,747 killed, 8,452

wounded and 4,263 captured or missing; Confederacy: 1,553 killed, 7,812 wounded and 109

captured or missing.

William went on to fight nearly three more years in such battles as Antietam and Lookout

Mountain before the war ended on April 18, 1865.

Upon moving to Starke County, William joined the William Landon GAR Post No. 290 in Knox,

as well as the Starke County Association of Old

Soldiers.

William and Nancy Spiker’s farm was two miles

north of Knox in the extreme northeast corner of

section 10 in Center Twp.

Spiker Hill was a local landmark in the road north

out of Knox. Travelers with their horses and

wagons or buggies found it very difficult to cross

this loose sandy hill.

William was 83 years of age when he passed away

January 31, 1924. He is buried in the Old section at

Crown Hill Cemetery in the company of many of

his fellow veterans who fought in the war to

preserve the union.

Henry S. Mintle

A veteran of the Civil War who lived in North Judson from 1863 until 1874

When researching Starke County’s veterans of the Civil War, it becomes apparent that while

some veterans do not show up in any previous chapters, they none the less are remembered in the

county.

Henry S. Mintle is typical of such veterans. Henry was born in Ohio on October 22, 1827. He

married Harriet Jane Nash in 1848 and took up farming in Warren County, Ohio. During the

1850’s Henry and Harriet moved to West Lebanon, Warren County, Indiana, where he became a

plasterer. A daughter Flora was born around 1853.

Leaving his family behind, he enlisted as a Sergeant 1st Class in the

Union Army October 15, 1861, Company G, 40th

Infantry Regiment

Indiana. By then their residence was West Point, Tippecanoe County,

Indiana.

During the first few months of his enlistment, his wife Harriet relocated

to North Judson, Indiana. Upon discharge in 1863 due to a disability,

Henry returned to her and Flora in North Judson. There he took up his

previous occupation as a plasterer, while also clerking in the Keller

store.

Harriet died sometime before 1870. Meanwhile another daughter Ida had been born around 1865.

In 1871, Henry married Laura Miller.

In 1874 Harry and his new wife Laura moved to Walkerton, Indiana where he started the

Greenback Party newspaper, the Walkerton Visitor.

Henry died May 16, 1886 and is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Walkerton. In 1912, Laura

married John E. Collins, another Starke County Civil War veteran.

There are no doubt other unknown veterans such as Henry Mintle. Veterans who moved into

Starke County after the war, stayed for a time and then moved on to other opportunities. Some

may have moved to the west, which was quickly opening up when railroads tracks were laid after

the war. Others may have moved to nearby counties.

of the loads had to be left behind ...we are camped near Bells Tavern. Boys had to lay out again.

Kentucky. Our tent came and we pitched it. About 2 o’clock it began to rain and continued for

3 hours ...boys got quite wet, built fires and went to singing.

Feb 26th

. Cloudy this morning on our march from Munfordsville to this place. We saw where

Hindman tore up the pike, then plowed the road and fell trees across the road, so we had to

march through mud and brush to Cave City. Hindman burned up the buildings, one Hotel

building belonging to a union man which I am informed cost ten thousand dollars. He says he

had only two beds and a few articles of household goods left, the rebels having taken and

destroyed everything ...this we are informed is the fate of union men and their families generally,

many of them being in a suffering condition. O the horrors of war as we see its effects ...the pike

is torn up for miles, but hundreds of men are repairing it and in a few days will have it

completed. Cave City ...I am informed ...is within 6 miles of the celebrated Mammoth Cave.

There are caves all through this portion of the country. Our boys say they have explored some of

the caves half mile. Received a letter from wife.

Feb 27th

. Still near Bells Tavern. Tents did not arrive. Boys laid out again last night. Clear and

pleasant this morning. For miles along the road we find cattle and horses killed and thrown into

the water so we cannot use it.

Feb 28th

. Teams came up last night ...had all our tents. Boys killed. Hogs and sheep, and we

lived fine at Camp Cave ...we had pork for breakfast. I went into a cave this morning before

breakfast about two hundred yards ...with candles ...came out and walked about until sunrise.

Marched 20 miles today passed through a village called dripping spring and saw some of the

finest country I have seen in the state ...feet blistered. Pitched our tents 5 miles from Bowling

flour nice fresh. Pork and coffee, all told.

freezing, but we have plenty of rations this evening and feel comfortable. Received a letter from

wife last night and one from A.C. Tullis night before Kentucky.

March 4th

. Sun rose bright this morning ...we get up at 4 o’clock now. Rained in the afternoon,

but we marched to Bowling Greene and crossed Barren River after dark on a pontoon bridge

which was held against the current by three steamboats. Went and took possession of a nice

two-storey vacant house. Our teams did not get across all of them until near daylight ...had the

worst place to drive I ever saw.

March 5th

. Cool this morning early and saw Buckner’s fortifications, 80 acres supposed to be

enclosed. Bowling Green supposed to contain 4,000 citizens 6 months ago, but only 1,000 now.

Saw many walls of large buildings burned by Buckner. Marched two miles this morning and

Mitchelville, Tennessee. My feet are very sore. Captain K is sick and about give out. O dear

how tired I am. I’ll go to bed now, for the rest are gone.

March 8th

. Started early even though we are very sore and stiff after our march of thirty miles

yesterday. Passed Starry Springs and White Hill and Galitius, all small towns, today ...and saw

some fine country. By an order from General Wood to report ourselves at the junction tonight

we march 30 miles. Some of the men gave out, but 9 continued with the Co.

March 9th

. Remained in camp today, 10 miles from Nashville. I called the roll this morning in

my sock feet, my feet being swelled so I could not get on my boots. It has been quite warm today,

but this evening it looks like rain.

March 10th

. Rained, blowed and thundered pretty near all night, but about noon it cleared away,

Nashville is a large city, but the streets are dirty and narrow. Received a letter from wife.

March 14th

. Find ourselves, after our detention yesterday, at the river crossing. Our teams a

late march last night. In a beautiful grove with rolling ground, green grass and plenty of spring

water. Wrote to wife.

March 15th

March 16th

. Drew our rations today ...and drew desiccated vegetables for the first time and corn

tomorrow.

March 29th

. Struck tents and marched about 13 miles. Left Capt. Kiser sick at Nashville.

March 30th

. Passed through Franklin a very pretty town, built mostly of brick.

March 31st. Passed through Spring Hill today. For the last two days the dust has been so bad

and the heat so excessive that many of the men have fainted by the road side. We leave them

until the rearguard comes up, when they are taken care of. Rec’d a letter from A.P.

April 1st. We had only 15 minutes this morning to get breakfast and strike tents. Took up line of

march and crossed Duck River on a pontoon bridge and passed through Columbia, a very nice

looking town.

April 2d. Still onward. We pass the residence of Gen. Pillow and that of Gen Pope. They are

situated in a fine country and seem to be in a high state of cultivation around the residences.

The grounds were tastefully ornamented with shrubbery. On the farm we noticed some fifteen or

twenty negro homes neatly white-washed and presented the appearance of Country villages.

Passed through Mount Pleasant. In the afternoon we marched through a valley with

Mountaneous Hills on either side. Encamped with Mountains encircling us high and very steep.

A family lived in the valley who fled at our approach leaving even their suppers on the table,

which the boys disposed of …

April 3d. The man returned this morning and said it was reported our army murdered woman

and children as they went, which was the cause of their leaving home. We halted early and went

into camp. I am sitting under the shade and leaning against a chestnut tree writing this, and the

boys are busy preparing to pitch their tents. Marched through Innersville today, a nice clean

looking village; but I think of strong secesh proclivities, as I did not see only two houses but

what was closed. The sun is pretty hot. They call me. I must go and see what is to be regulated.

April 4th

: Marched through a rough part of the country today. For several miles on a ridge

road, and go into Camp at dark.

April 5th

: A part of the boys laid out last night rather than pitch their tents. This morning it was

raining, and some of them got pretty wet. After a hasty breakfast the column moved on, passed

through Waynesboro. At least a citizen said it was before it died ...the stars and stripes were

waving and joy seemed to rest on all. A gentleman informed me it was only four or five days

since they dared raise it. Went into Camp about noon having marched since the morning of the

29th

.

April 6th

. Resumed our march this morning and about 9 o’clock heard Cannonading. Halt

about 5 o’clock. Ordered to unsling knapsacks and put 3 days rations in our Haversacks. The

boys seem to feel there is work on hand, yet they seem cool and anxious to move onward ...we

march all night or until about 3 o’clock in the morning ...when the rain, darkness and mud

makes it almost impossible to march. We halt, build fires and lay down for two hours.

April 7th

. March at break of day, arrive at Savannah where we immediately go on board of

steamboat where we lay for an hour. Saw James Tullis in Savannah. He informed he was

wounded yesterday, the ball striking his arm, passing between the bones, breaking one of the

bones. Tullis seems quite lively today. The boat moves forward and about seven miles from

Savannah we get off at Pittsburg Landing. We are immediately formed and march on double

quick to the field where we are thrown in the line of Battle. Hardly had the Brigade formed

when a shell passed just above our head. I noticed our boys. They did not seem to be alarmed.

I am informed Gen. Wood said he never saw troops form in line of Battle more cool and self

possessed than did our Brigade. The firing of artillery and small arms was incessant. After

some time we was ordered forward again, nearer the scene of action. We marched on double

quick and was formed in line of battle again, amidst the shout of the brave boys who had fought

in one of the most terrific battles ever fought on this continent. We was formed on top of a hill,

and two companies of each Regt thrown forward one hundred and fifty paces in advance. This

brought them under the Hill, out of our sight. In the meantime the rebels was still retreating, but

still kept throwing Balls and shells, which fortunately for us was aimed so high they passed over

our heads. Col. Wagoner begged Gen. Wood to let us make a charge and capture the rebel

batteries, but we was ordered to remain where we were, unless attacked. Our skirmishers soon

were engaged with some of the rebels, and after a few minutes sharp firing, in about half an

hour, they brought up some forty or fifty prisoners ...several of them wounded ...while the balls

and shells were flying over our heads ...some of the boys was eating crackers, we remained in

line of battle until sometime in the night when we fell back about one half mile in silence and laid

our arms without fire or blankets in the rain.

April 8th

. Tennessee. At daylight we kindled fires and took some hot coffee. During the

forenoon we took up the line of march towards Corrinth about five miles from the battlefield.

Our advance pickets were fired upon. We immediately formed in line of Battle, supported by our

artillery, and waited the attack to commence. The balls struck so close to us that our Hospital

Stewart retreated in double quick to the rear. After dark we returned to the Battle field.

April 9th

. Remain on the field all day, but to describe a battle field such as this presented itself is

out of my power. The wounded are fast being removed by steam Boats to Savannah, yet many of

them still remain on the field. They are wounded slightly and dangerously in ever way

imaginably ...then dead men and Horses are strewn on every side. I saw the young and gray

haired, friends and foes lying side by side. Some shot through, other with their arms or legs

blown off. Some in the agonies of death, and were trampled under foot by Horses and the

infuriated soldiery. In some places Horses and riders lay together horibly mutilated in death so

thick to , we had to step over dead bodies, yet I heard but few who moaned or made any noise

indicative of pain. Some would even laugh and bid us hasten on. I saw one poor fellow, who

seemed to have an ugly wound on his foot, with a Cigar in his mouth, lying on a bunch of hay

and dressing his own wound. He seemed quite cheerful. I have often read descriptions of

Battles and Battle fields, of the dead and wounded, but I do not believe any man can form

anything like an accurate conception of what a battlefield is. Imagine a scope of country six or

seven miles in extend , and then again that over this arena of ground is lying from fifty to sixty

thousand men wounded and dead ...and thousands of Horses dead …in some places lying in

heaps where the fighting was severe, in other places only a few ...some who seem to have

straightened themselves and died tranquil, others whose clothing and flesh was burned, their

visages indicating extreme suffering, some lying on their faces, some on their backs ...imagine all

this and the man who has never seen a battle field will fail to realise its horrors. I am informed

the rebels carried off their dead and wounded, and our troops have found them as far as nine

miles from the field.

April 10th

. April. Tennessee. It is reported the rebels are going to attack us again at this place.

We was called out in line of Battle again this morning at four o’clock. After about one hour and

no enemy appearing we return to our fires and lay down on the ground again. About noon we

was formed again, but the alarm seemed to be false.

April 11th

. Burying the dead is still going on.

April 12th

. Still on the fields. Some of the Indianians have arrived. I wrote a letter to wife and

sent it by Samuel Kirkpatrick to mail it at some point where it will reach its destination soonest.

April 13th

. Sun is shining this morning. Wrote to A.P. today with request to have the letter

mailed at Lousiville.

April 14th

. Our Brigade went out to reconnoiter this morning. Since the 29 of March our first

Lieut. Has been acting as Captain, and I as first Lieutenant, our Captn and second Lieut. Both

being absent. We have been without mail ...but twice I believe since the 29th

...and without our

tents since the fifth and have had rain about every day and night, and we was not allowed to

bring our blankets with us, but most of us have them, which we picked up on the battlefield.

April 15th

. Received mail last night, but nothing came for me. Oh that I could hear from the

dear loved ones ...for time passes so very slow with me. When will I see them again. Gen. Buell

has promised us we shall all be at home in twenty days. Oh that it may be true. Our Regt has

not yet returned. Dr. Atkins came here today, and many other Citizens have come since the

Battle to look after their friends and relatives.

April 16th

. The boys have gone to the landing this morning for provisions, three and a half miles

distant. They have had them to carry ever since we have been here as we have neither teams or

tents with us. The troops have been gathering up the guns that was left on the Battlefield.

Yesterday they was throwing them in heaps when two guns went off and shot some men, one I

learn fatally. They still find dead men yet and bury them on the field. The wounded are being

carried by the thousand on board of boats to be taken to their homes.

April 17th

. We are having or had ten days nice weather, but our manner of living since the 6th

has been such that many of the men are sick. I am under the weather and have been for four

days ...our boys found a part of a Sibley tent yesterday, and I slept under it last night ...The tent

has I judge two hundred bullet and Cannon ball holes in it. Received a letter from wife and

answered it. Wrote a letter to Mother Nash.

April 18th

. It is reported in Camp that Yorktown is taken with seventy thousand prisoners. Good

news if true. We moved today about one Mile from the Battlefield and pitched tents for the first

time since the fifth. We are on an elevated piece of ground about two hundred yards wide on a

clear Brook on either side.

April 19th

. It is a gloomy day and has rained since morning almost without intermission, but out

tents with fires in them keep us dry and warm ...the air is cool. Oh; how my thoughts linger

about my dear wife and daughter. I hope to get to see them soon. Wrote to wife today.

April 20th

. April, Tennessee. This is another gloomy day. I have made application for a

Furlough but time must slow with what success. It is reported General Beuregard has asked an

armistice for twenty days.

April 21st. I obtained a Surgeons Certificate, but the Col. Refused to sign it, and the only reason

assigned was if he signed mine, holding the position I do, there would be one hundred

applications before night. So much for Col. Blake. I will remember him for many a day. It is

still raining and quite cold. I think I must write a letter to my wife.

April 22nd

. The weather is fair today. Nothing occurred worthy of not.

April 23rd

. Moved today. Our camp is on quite high and rolling ground one half mile from our

last camp. I learn the change was made to give us more room and to let us in a better line.

April 24th

. The boys are policing our new quarters, and the cooks are getting breakfast. Thus

they seem lively and busy this morning.

April 25th

. Rained pretty much all day. Rec’d pay from Maj. Hendricks up to Feb. 28th

.

Received a letter from wife.

April 26th

. Another day of sunshine greets us, and the boys are washing.

April 27th

. Wrote to wife and received a letter from her this evening.

April 28th

. Wrote a letter to wife and sent it to West Point by Dr. Atkins in care of James

Fannen. I have not been very well for a few days and got tired of our rations, sent to the River

today and paid thirty cents for one dozen Eggs and 25 cents for ten cents worth of Bread, and 25

cents for two Lemons.

April 29th

. Captain Kiser returned today. Our Brigade took up line of march, but I and some

others remained in Camp.

April 30th

. Some of the boys returned this morning and informed us our camp is about five miles

from here. We are still in our old camp this morning. The teams came back, and I rode over,

not feeling well enough to walk. I saw a house today and a family living in it. There is about

five acres of ground cleared about the house, and our camp surrounds it.

May 1st. I got up this morning with one side of my face swelled. I expect I will have the mumps

now with the balance of my good things. The letter I wrote to send by Dr. Atkins to wife ...I put it

in the office to send it by Mail today.

May 2d. This has been a very beautiful May day. My face is still some swelled yet, but not at all

painful. I can drink Lemonade, and I am satisfied it is not the Mumps.

May 3d. Our Brigade made another advance this morning. I learn it will march about five

miles. I felt unable to walk and with J.C. Webster remained behind, waiting for the teams to

return ...The weather is warm, and we are laying in the shade on our blankets. Our forces are

gradually closing upon Corinth, fighting almost every day, either killing or taking some

prisoners. Hear Canonading this evening, am informed the rebels attacked Gen. Pope’s forces

and were driven in ...

May 4th

. The birds are singing in the old green woods this bright quiet May Morn. They do not

sing with sadness ; neither songs of blood ...but as if peace and happiness reigned oer all the

land ...Hark; the shrill notes of the Bugle strike upon my ear. Will that Bugle awaken other then

thoughts of strife and death on the battle field in the minds of the soldiers. My mind turns toward

home and the dear loved ones and wish this sabbath day may not be desecrated with blood. I

rode over to Camp this evening, and we had rather a hard night, as it rained pretty much all

night, and the fly was off our tent, and it leaked so that we got wet.

May 5th

. It is still raining this morning and looks quite gloomy. The sun is shining brightly this

afternoon ...but seeing nothing of fields and houses, I have grown tired of seeing woods and

hearing the noise of camp life. Rec’d a letter from E. J. Boram, dated February the 2th.

May 6th

. Tennessee. Still in Camp, the rain making the roads so bad we cannot advance until

roads are built ...the day is pleasant. Gen. Halleck has ordered that no Mail shall be sent North

until the fight at Corinth is decided.

May 7th

. The Soldiers worked all day and night, and this morning the teams started again. Our

Brigade marched a little after daylight. Today some one fired a ball through a tent where J.C.

Webster and I was in, missing John about fifteen inches and me about three feet. I picked the

ball up. It was laying on John’s blanket.

May 8th

. Fighting is still going on daily in the way of skirmishing. I think in two days more the

Battle will begin in earnest . This is quite a warm day ...I hear firing. I suppose our boys are

giving the rebels some rations. Indianians are arriving here by the hundreds. I am still under

the weather and laying in camp, not doing duty.

May 9th

. Tennessee, May. Received a letter last evening from wife. Our Brigade went out this

evening with three days rations. Heard some canonading last night, but all is quiet this morning

so far as I can learn.

May 10th

. There has been some heavy fighting today on the right wing. Our train has just

completed loading all camp equipages, and waiting orders to move forward. I am in an

ambulance, feeling unable to march and keep up with the train.

May 11th

. Received a letter from A.P. Remained in the ambulance all night as the train did not

move. Our Brigade came in the dark last night and slept in line of battle.

May 12th

. An order came this morning for all who are unable to march with their company to go

to Hamburg, I with three of our boys came down. We lay in the wagon all night as Mr. Lane

said he could not find the Post surgeon and did not know where to take us.

May 13th

. The sun is shining beautiful this morning. J. C. Webster is quite sick and says he

wishes me to remain with him. About one o’clock we are taken to the Barracks but find the

houses and tents so full we are compelled to lay down on the ground under some trees where we

remain all night.

May 14th

. Another beautiful day dawns upon us ...about four o’clock an order came for all

Indiana Soldiers to go aboard of a Boat immediately. We go aboard of the Citizen and about

sunset start down river, and lay up at Pittsburgh landing all night. The citizens of Evansville

are unremitting in their kindness and attention to us. They gave me some Chicken soup last

night for supper, and I slept in the Cabin.

May 15th

. Still at Pittsburgh landing this morning. Start about noon, run down to Savanah and

lay there two hours – while there a sick man fell overboard, off of the Louisiana. Mr. William H.

Tillesen, an artist of Evansville, sprang into the water between the boats, which was very

dangerous, and succeeded in rescuing the Soldier. Mr. Tellesman is on our boat and is

unremitting as a nurse, laboring day and night to make the sick comfortable.

May 16th

. This morning just as the sun was rising we entered the Ohio River and stopped at

Paduoka a short time. Nothing worthy of note occurred today on the Boat.

May 17th

. Landed at Evansville this morning about four o’clock. Went to General Hospital No.

1 just after sunrise and endeavored to obtain a furlough, but was informed by the surgeon to get

it in time for the train today. I find good beds here. Rooms clean and well ventilated with kind

officers and men and plenty of the food that the sick require, but I would rather be on my way

home than here. Yet I will have to wait with time and patience ...and hope to start on Monday

next.

May 18th

. This sabbath day the Church Bells are ringing, and it seems as though we had come

back to civilized life again. Here we also sit at a table to eat our meals and have plenty of good

food. How much it is like home. Our Room is large, clean, and, although there is thirty beds in

it, we do not seem crowded.

May 19th

. Indiana. Started home today and passed through Vincennes and Terre Haute and

Green Castle, arriving at Lafayette at 8 p.m.

May 20th

. Started to Rail Road this morning and met with wife, was pleasantly surprised, and

accompanied her to West Point.

…..

Aug 14th

, 1862. First saw the order that soldiers should return to their Regts if able to walk

about town ...to make social calls ...or visit places of amusement. Saw the order in the St. Joseph

Valley Register. Dr. Thornton says I am not well enough to perform any military duty. Neither

have I money or a pass to go to Indianapolis. I yet have Diarreah and have been under

treatment ever since I cam here.

Sept 3rd

. Indiana. Left North Judson, came to Medaryville and stopped off to see Dr. Thornton

and get some papers I left with him. Expect to start from here at Midnight.

Sept 4th

. Train did not stop, and I was compelled to remain here until today.

Sept 5th

. Came to Indianapolis last evening and saw the Surgeon this morning. He said he was

honor and oath bound under existing orders to send me to the Regt ...wrote two letters to wife

and one to A.P. and started to Lousiville with six men, three of whom were prisoners who I was

to take to Nashville. Arrived at Jeffersonville at 12 M and lay down on the pavement.

Sept 6th. Got up this morning and, as the landlord was not around, cut on our bill, crossed the

River and reported at headquarters. Maj. Granger said it was impossible to reach Nashville.

We was ordered to Barracks No 1 where we are now. Wrote one letter to wife and one to A. P.

The quarters here are clean, airy and pleasant.

Sept 7th. Quite warm this morning. No news worthy of note.

Sept 9th. I am very. lonesome today, although there are hundreds of men in the Barracks. The

house, I am informed, is one that belonged to the rebel Buckner. Today I saw Green, the

reformed gambler. He is in command of a company of provost guards and is said to be a good

officer. They are quartered in the Phenix House. Captain Green is a good looking fellow, and, I

judge, a man possessing great firmness and a man of good intellectual capacities. In appearance

about 50 or 55 years ...blue eyes ...ruddy complexion …hair long and gray, clean Shaven, of

medium size, and withall rather a staid looking gentleman, considering the reputation he once

sustained among the fancy …of being one of the sharpest.

Sept 10th. Wrote to Captain Kirkpatrick.

Sept 11th. A lot of us were mustered this evening to go to Nashville in the morning.

Sept 12th. Orders countermanded, but I have not learned the reason. I am informed a man was

shot last evening by one of the police guards …a brother to Col. Mundy who has his Regt.

quartered near the city. The deceased is said to be a favorite among the men and fears was

entertained the murderer would be taken out of jail and lynched. A strong guard was put out last

night to guard the jail. A general excitement prevailed, but all seems quiet this morning.

Sept 13th

Started this morning at a few minutes notice for Bowling Green. 107 of us under

command of Lieut. Nichels of the 4th Wisconsin went as far as Munfordsville where the

Conductor received a dispatch to return, as Brag’s forces was within 8 Miles. We went across

Green River in fort Dunum, but Col. Wilder ordered us back into the Depot as we were unarmed.

Sept 14th. Fort Dunum. We took up quarters at the warehouse. About ten o'clock orders were

received from Col. Wilder for us to return to Louisville on the midnight train. Sam Cain

Belonged today at Bardstown Junction.

This morning about 4 o'clock we heard the pickets firing. Got permission to enter the fort ...and

by the time it was light the battle began in earnest and continued until between 9 and 10 o'clock.

The battle was fought with great bravery of our men and by the rebels with an obstinacy

unparalleled in the annals of war. I am informed the rebel forces amounted to 6,000 men,

commanded by Gen. Chalmers and the flower of the army, while ours was 21000 and almost all,

men who had never been under fire before. They made several charges on the works, but was

repulsed with heavy loss ...while our works protected us, our loss being only 18 killed and 20

wounded. I thought for a time we would have to surrender, for shot, shell and leaden hail was

poured in one continual shower into our works. At the close of the fight Col. Dunum reinforced

us with about 400 of the 50th Regt. Ind. Vols. The rebels came in with a flag of truce, demanding

a surrender ...which was refused …then they asked permission to bury their dead and care for

their wounded, which was granted. We loaned them some picks and spades to bury their dead.

They said they would open on us again in 3/4 of an hour if we did not surrender. Our Col. told

them he would hold out to the last. After their flag left us our men fired a few shots from our

Cannon to let them know we was yet on hand. One solid shot came near striking me today. It

struck a log within arms length of where I was standing ...and a shell fell within a few feet of me,

and a brave man stooped, picked it up and dropped it outside of the works where it bursted

about the time it touched the ground. Thanks to the great Father of all mercies that I am yet

unharmed, although thousands of bullets whistled around me, and my comrades have fallen

dying and wounded. After the battle was ended, I visited the hospital, and there saw our

wounded and dead which were gathered together, some lazing on the ground, others on

stretchers …oh the horrors of war. It is enough to make the eye blanch, the cheek pale, and the

heart sicken at the sight. Here I saw the brave May Abbott lying on the ground, cold in death. I

thought a while today we would either be taken or have to surrender, as, the rebels made five

distinct charges on us, and they were made as none but men driven to madness, or of

indomitable courage and bravery, could make. But our brave men met them promptly at every

charge and drove them back with great slaughter. This evening I was detailed to go outside of

the works with a squad of men and take charge of some sixty Horses and Mules, with the

instructions, if the rebels came on to us to cut all loose and make our escape with as many as

possible. Where I am is above the bridge, and if there is any more fighting I will between fires

and very much exposed, but I shall obey orders or be found with the dead at my post.

Sept 15th. There was no attack made on us this morning. Well, the day has passed quickly.

Sept 16th. Fighting commenced again this morning, but it is principally an artillery fight with

pretty sharp skirmishing. I am yet in the valley, and the solid shot, shells and a few bullets are

falling around us. We have seen the dust rising in the North for an hour or two. Some think it is

Buels forces …others, that it is the rebels surrounding us. At five o'clock the firing ceased, and I

learn General Bragg came in with a flag of truce, again demanding a conditional surrender,

and, by request of the Col, has given permission for him to go out and see their strength. Col.

Dunham was out about four hours. He reports the rebels forty-five thousand strong with fifty-

four pieces of artillery in position. We have had but three killed today, and some ten wounded,

so far as I can learn.

Sept 17th. At six o'clock this morning we find ourselves prisoner. Are marched south some three

miles, paroled and then marched about three miles further and left in a ravine on the banks of

Green River, where we arrive at dark. Our captors have neither given us breakfast, dinner or

supper.

Sept. 18th. Well, last night was a hard night on us, as it rained very hard. This morning about

nine o'clock the rebels gave us a small piece of meat and nothing mo re . This afternoon we was

marched south. I was, informed the rebel officers and their Cavalry was escorting us to Buels

lines. They tell us they lost about nine hundred killed and wounded on Sunday's fight . Our entire

force, an officer informed me, that was surrendered, amounts to forty-one hundred men, about

two thousand of which came in after sundays fight. The Regts was the 89th, 67th, 60th, about

400 of the 50th, and one Co. of the 18th Regulars, and 107 of us who came from Louisville

Barracks No.1 under charge of Lieut. Nickles of the 4th Wisconsin Infantry. We was a mixed Co.

belonging to 16 different Regts, having among our number some, recruits from Wisconsin and

Michigan and also two companies, I believe, of the 74th Ind. Regt., together with ten pieces of

artillery.

Sept. 19th. Last night we lay down on the road side as there was skirmishing between Buels

advance and Braggs rear. This morning before light we resumed our march, and at sunrise we

was inside of our lines. I learned where the 40th was went and found Co. G, saw the boys and

got some breakfast which I relished very much, as our rebel friends only gave us one meal and

that meat only in two days. I leave my company and march about one mile where I find my

fellow prisoners. We march until about noon, halt, hear an order read from Gen. Buel that we

are to march to Bowling Green, from thence to the Ohio River on half rations. The column

moves on until about 9 o'clock. We halt, and I lay down by an old barn to sleep.

Sept. 20th. Now before sunrise I am ready to resume our march. Well, here we are at noon in

the woods, resting after our dinner of bread and raw meat. Arrive at Bowling Green about five

o'clock and go into camp half mile from town.

Sept. 21st. After a good sleep and breakfast …I feel pretty well. Start, as we learn, for

Owensborough. March a few miles, about face and march to Bowling Green again. Go

north a few miles, then turn west and go into camp about sunset.

Sept. 22d. Set forward again about daylight and have had a hard, days march. Pass through

Brownsville, Cross Green River and encamp. We have no tents, but lay down at night under

trees. Learn we are going to reach the Ohio River now at Clover Port.

Sept. 23d. Still on March and I do think it one of the most crooked roads I ever traveled. I am

quite tired and sergt. Baker of the 4th Mich. Battery has almost given out with a badly sprained

ankle.

Sept. 24th. Baker and I slept in a house last night, and this morning start alone to Cloverport.

As we are informed the column is going through Litchfield which is fifteen miles further than the

road, we are on distance to the river forty miles.

Well, we have stopped to get breakfast. The lady says her husband is in the army and told her to

divide with soldiers whenever they came along. Our breakfast consisted of corn bread, butter,

fat meat and butter milk. The lady was the wife of Hugh Baker. He is in Col. Shanks Cavalry.

Mrs. Baker gave us two corn dodgers to put into our Haversacks and would not receive any pay,

as she said she had plenty a barrel almost full of meal. We ate dinner with a union man and had

mutton and sweet potatoes which I enjoyed very much.

Sept. 25th. We marched until dark last night, stayed with Mrs. Wilson. Got our suppers. Started

again this morning. Walked about three miles. Took breakfast and resumed our weary march

through a country where there is but few houses and plenty of bush whackers who stop us from

time to time. Question us and then permit us to proceed. But our union friends are kind and go

with us, directing us on our way and tell us where to find friends.

Sept. 26th. We stayed last night with a man who we are informed is under bonds, being a

suspected sympathizer. His name was Combstock. Six miles from Cloverport. It was a hard

place. Drinking, swearing, card playing and cain generally was kept up until after midnight, by

about thirty Butternut gents, but they did us no harm. Well, we are at Cloverport and reported to

Col. Shanks, who treated us kindly and said he would feed us well and forward us on to

Louisville or Indianapolis. A citizen went with us and gave us possession of a neat little frame

house and some bed clothes. They are very

kind to us and seem to appreciate the service the union soldiers are doing for the state. They

bring us many delicacies, such as butter, chicken, fruit, etc. Wrote to wife today.

Sept. 27th. Time seems to pass slowly, but I informed a boat will be up tomorrow, and we will go

on it, if possible. It has rained about all day, so we have stayed in the house with nothing but our

cooking and home work to do. A citizen told me this town is about two-thirds secesh and that it

furnished one Company for the Rebel Army. A young man brought us a chicken and some

peaches this morning. He informed me that he had no doubt but two of his brothers were in the

Rebel Army. The Union citizens here I find are intensely engaged in the work and are among the

most noble Loyal men I have saw, among who are Doctor Daghert.

Sept. 28th. This is a pleasant Sunday morning …I hear the Church bells ringing. It reminds me of

home, but I am far from my family and a prisoner of war, and I know not what the future has in

store for me. It is reported the rebels are firing on boats as they pass, but I feel willing to take my

chance. Six p.m. we get aboard the Packet Delaware bound for Louisville, distance one hundred

and ten miles.

Sept. 29th. Our Boat was detained sometime last night on account of another boat being

aground. We are laid up on account of fog this 3 a.m. Start again before daylight, land at

Albany at. 3:30 p.m., found our fellow prisoners one mile from town ...march to Jeffersonville,

go aboard the train and start at 8 p.m. for Indianapolis.

Sept. 30th. Arrive at Indianapolis 11 a.m., and were marched to the grove near the Soldiers

home, where we are waiting further orders. I am informed Gen. Morton is making efforts to give

us furloughs home instead of having us go to Camp Chase.

Oct. 1st. Rec'd my parole furlough and transportation, and will start for home this morning.

Oct. 2nd. After traveling pretty much all night, arrived home about 4 a.m. Knocked at the door.

My wife unlocked it and was very agreeably surprised, not having heard from me for about one

month, and was not looking for me. I feel very weak from my sickness and exposure, but hope

my twenty days rest will restore me to health again, so when I am exchanged I will be able to

give battle to the enemies of our country.

In copying this I find a note which I wrote while the missiles of death were flying around us at

Munfordsville during Sunday’s battle. I will enter it here. Will a friend, if I am found dead, send

this and what is found upon my person to Mrs.Harriet J. Mintle, North Judson, Stark Co., Ind.

and oblige a widows son of Hiram's order, Henry S. Mintle, 1st Sergt. Co. G, 40th Regt. Ind.

Vols.

When we were taken prisoners, I understand Buckner, Chalmers, Hardee and Volk were all

commanding corps or divisions under Bragg. We were surrendered to the latter Gen. in person.

Chapter Nine

Additional Civil War Veterans

This chapter attempts to record anyone who might be thought of as a Starke County Civil War

Veteran but was not included in any of the previous chapters. There are a variety of reasons for

this, and it partly goes back to the question posed in our introduction; what is a Starke County

Civil War Veteran?

Throughout the book, we have tried to include any Civil War Veteran who spent part of their life

in Starke County.

Larkin Adamson

Larkin Adamson is a person of special interest to Starke County. While not from Starke County,

Larkin married Sarah Smith, who did live in Starke County. The 1860 Federal Census does show

them living near Round Lake and Toto in Starke County.

But, soon they moved to Fulton County, Illinois and lived there until the war broke out. Larkin

then moved back to Indiana and enlisted from Rochester. He was shot in the right shoulder at

Port Gibson, Mississippi and died a month later. Larkin is buried in an unmarked grave at Port

Gibson.

Sarah Adamson moved back to the Toto area and married Amos Heath in 1868.

Leonard A. Collins

Leonard’s parents, John B. Collins and Mary Elizabeth Truax, moved to Starke County in the

1840s. They lived in North Bend Township near Bass Lake. Leonard is listed there on the 1850

census with his parents and siblings. He was 10 years old.

Leonard married Mary H. Bennett in 1860. Their whereabouts prior to the Civil War have not

been found nor has Leonard’s place of enlistment. Family tradition says Leonard was nearly

blinded during the war. We know from the 1870 census that Leonard and Mary had four children

during their nine years of marriage.

But after the war the next we hear of Leonard is that he killed John Chapman, a resident of North

Bend Township and Civil War veteran, in 1868. The incident must have been ruled self-defense

or justifiable homicide as we know Leonard was giving a talk one evening the following year at

the Cedar Lake schoolhouse.

“Suddenly a shot was fired through an open window killing Leonard instantly. The assailant

made his get-away into the night and was never located.” From the Union and Herald, La Porte,

Indiana, Sat., Mar. 13, 1869.

His wife Mary remarried widower Calvin Holman and was living in Porter County in 1880 with

two sons by her first marriage, George and Francis.

Leonard is buried at the Bass [Cedar] Lake Cemetery. The WPA Veterans Burial Index listed a

Lent Collins at the Bass Lake Cemetery in 1938. However, the more recent Cemetery Index

Book does not list a Lent or Leonard. It is assumed Leonard’s tombstone or marker has since

been lost.

Chapter Ten

Confederate Veterans Buried in Starke County

Even though we know of no one who enlisted in the Confederate Army from Starke County,

several Confederate Civil War soldiers are buried in Starke County based on their tombstones

and other information.

Spencer Brinkley (1811-1881) is buried in Oregon Township Cemetery. He had served in Co.

E, 23rd

Reg’t North Carolina Infantry. The letters “CSA” are engraved on his tombstone and

signify the Confederate

States of America.

He is listed on the 1870 and

1880 censuses for Starke

County in Oregon Township,

where he lists his occupation

as a farmer. The 1880 census

shows he was born in North

Carolina, as were both of his

parents. It is not too

surprising that he joined the

Confederacy, although

Spencer would have been in

his fifty’s.

Andrew Davis (born 1829 - died December 28, 1874) is more of a mystery. A replacement

military marker at Oregon Township Cemetery for an A. G. Davis shows he served in Co. I, 22nd

Reg’t North Carolina Infantry CSA and was a Sergeant.

The WPA Veterans Index has a card entry for Andrew G. Davis buried at Oregon Township

Cemetery. It shows he served in Co. G, 133rd

Reg’t Ohio Infantry. There is no indication of

service in the Confederacy.

Joseph McCormick’s 1915 History of Starke County talks about an Andrew J. Davis of Oregon

Township. It says he served in the Union Army and was from Darke County, Ohio. The 1860

Federal Census for Darke Co., OH lists an A.C. Davis with family information that matches

McCormick’s Andrew J. Davis.

This same Andrew Davis, based on his stated family information, does show up on the Starke

County Federal Census in 1870 as Andrew C. Davis. There are no other Davis males in Starke

County or in nearby St. Joseph County in 1870 that could be the A.G. Davis who died in 1874

and is buried at Oregon Township Cemetery with “CSA” on his tombstone.

It is our firm belief that the replacement military marker indicating Confederate military service

for Mr. Andrews has been placed in error.

John T.B. Nave (1829-1888) is buried in Pioneer Cemetery in Wayne Township.

McCormick’s 1915 book says: “He was still a resident of his native state [Tennessee] when the

Civil war broke out, and was impressed into the Confederate service, in which he was compelled

to serve a year, although his sympathies were with the North and he had two brothers in the

Union service, Lieut. Daniel and Abraham. In order to escape he secured a Union uniform, made

his way at once to his home and joined his family, and was able to reach the North after a

perilous and exciting journey.”

Robert Palmer (1845-1921) is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery. He was reburied there in

December 1937.

Although his tombstone makes no mention of service in the Confederate Army, the WPA

Veterans Burial Index lists him as a former Confederate soldier. Robert was born in Virginia, as

were both of his parents, according to the 1920 Federal Census for Starke County. Therefore, we

have no reason to doubt his service in the CSA Army.

Chapter Eleven

The Last Starke County Civil War Veteran(s)

William Wallace Garner

“Last Civil War Veteran, Starke County, Indiana”

William Wallace Garner, son of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Garner, was born October 30, 1847 in Grant

County, Indiana and passed away October 11, 1940 at Knox, Indiana at the age of 92 years, 11

months and 11 days.

At the age of fourteen years, he moved with his parents to Knox, Indiana where he continued his

education. At the age of seventeen years he enlisted in the Union Army and became a private in

Company D, 29th

Regiment Indiana Infantry. He was

honorably discharged a year later, on July 1, 1865 at

Nashville, Tennessee, and returned to Knox July 4th

, with

four others from this community.

He engaged in the mercantile business in Knox for several

years and later started the Starke County Enterprise, now

known as the Starke County Republican. He operated the

paper about eight years, sold it and then entered the railway

service where he remained about thirty-five years, at the

time living in Chicago.

After about forty-five

years, he returned to

Knox.

Mr. Garner was united

in marriage to Mrs. Anna Fletcher Moore, sister of Attorney

James C. Fletcher, on January 1, 1871. She passed away in

February 1898.

Mr. Garner was a charter member of the Grand Army of the

Republic of the William Landon Post and was honored many

times by being chosen in honorary capacities. He possessed

many fine badges, which he wore a great deal in later years

and never tired of talking about them.

Each year, in some manner, he celebrated the years of his return from the army. On July 4th

the

year he died he wrote and read the following in honor of the 75th

year of his discharge:

The Last Starke County Civil War Veteran(s)

“The Passing Years

1865

June 26, Monday – Two hundred of us boys left Dalton, Georgia for Nashville, Tennessee, to be

discharged from the army.

July 1, Saturday – Discharged at Nashville, Tennessee.

July 4, Tuesday – Four of us arrived at Knox, Indiana, about noon, after a walk from North

Judson, Indiana and in time for a big picnic dinner in the grove at the south side of town, had a

grand day. I remained a citizen of Knox until 1888 when I moved to Chicago and was away for

over forty-five years.

1940

July 4, Thursday – celebrated at the old hometown, the seventy-fifth anniversary of my return

from the army. The passing of the years brought great changes. The picnic grove is now part of

the town and built over with homes. The familiar faces of that day are all gone, but some of their

children still remain. May the blessings of Liberty and Peace remain forever.

Walked eighteen blocks today, July 4, 1940, in memory of the twelve miles seventy-five years

ago.

W.W. Garner

Civil War Veteran”

Uncle Billy, as his many friends knew him, lived the last seven years of his life at the Home

Hotel in downtown Knox. Mr. Garner is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Knox beside his wife

Anna.

The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War organization was scheduled to honor William W.

Garner as Starke County’s Last Civil War Veteran with a graveside ceremony and plaque

dedication in Crown Hill Cemetery, Knox, Indiana on Saturday September 20, 2008.

Francis J. Barton

1845 – April 6, 1948

The Last Civil War Veteran Living In Starke County, Indiana

Francis (Frank) J. Barton was born in Pokagon Twp, Cass Co., Michigan to Charles and Olive

Barton in 1845. His siblings were Sarah, William, Hiram, Marie and Adeline. Charles and Olive

were both born in New Hampshire but moved to Michigan sometime between 1836 and 1838.

According to the 1840 Federal Census, Frank may have had two older unnamed siblings.

By 1850, the Barton family had moved to Ross Twp., Lake Co., Indiana, where Charles listed his

occupation as shoemaker. The family was still living at this location in 1860 before the outbreak

of the Civil War.

Frank enlisted in 1864, when he was 18 years old. He

served as a scout with the 12th

Indiana Infantry,

Company G. His job was to go ahead of the forces and

prepare the way for battles in Alabama and Tennessee.

After the war, he went west and was living in Kansas in

according to the 1880 federal census. There he listed his

occupation as a harness maker and spent the next fifty

years making and selling harnesses and saddles. He was

married to Susan and had a son, George. The Starke

County Museum has a photo taken in 1945 of Frank

with his two sons, George and Claude, when he

celebrated his 100th

birthday.

He took part in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889, and

in 1910 was living in Fairview Twp, Grant Co., OK with

his second wife, Alice. His father in-law, Henry B.

Miller was also living with them.

By 1920, at 74 years of age Frank was living in Portage Twp., South Bend, Indiana with his

wife, Alice, now 51 years of age. Sometime during this period he joined the Auten Post No. 8 of

the Grand Army of the Republic in South Bend.

In 1930, Frank was listed on the Federal Census as a single roomer living with Nathan and Cora

Conway in Dowagiac, Michigan. Their relationship to him is not known, but this was near

Frank’s birthplace in 1845.

Around 1940, Clara (Keithline) Klopot of Knox, Indiana, took Frank into her home to live.

Frank’s son Claude had married Clara’s sister, Eva Keithline. Claude and Eva Barton’s home in

Kingsbury, Indiana was not large enough to accommodate a roomer, and Frank’s other son

George, lived in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Here he was known as “Daddy B” by family and friends. When he moved to Knox, he owned a

Ford Model A which he tended to drive by straddling the center line on roads, due to his failing

eyesight. By this time, he was also very hard of hearing, so he had to race the engine, so he could

hear it before engaging the clutch.

Before long, he bought a new Plymouth sedan. It had a much quieter engine, making it even

more difficult for Frank to hear. As Clara’s grandson, Mike Bonner says, this made for some

very exciting rides!

Frank was serving as senior-vice-commander of the Indiana Department of the G.A.R. at 100

years of age. He was also active in the Albert Williams American Legion Post 50 of South Bend,

Indiana. It was said he was “hearty, splendid in spirit and character to the last”.

In April of 1948, Frank tripped in the home and broke his hip. He died of complications a week

later in the hospital at Laporte, Indiana. He was one of three Indiana Civil War Veterans still

living at that time. The other two were John C. Adams, 100, of Jonesboro and W. E.

Whittinghill, 99, of Lebanon.

Funeral services were conducted at the Knox Christian Church by Rev. R. S. Rains of Knox.

Afterwards, the body was given a state police escort to South Bend, where the American

Legion’s 50 piece band marched through downtown South Bend, stopping to place a wreath on

the Civil War monument, then to Highland Cemetery on Portage Avenue where grave side

services were held. Many officials from various veteran organizations around the state attended.

Democrat, April 14, 1948 Starke County Republican and Michael Bonner.

The various lists contained in our book on Civil War veterans were created over a 75 year period,

beginning with enlistment records at the start of the war in 1861 on up to the Veterans’ Grave

Registration in 1939. While any specific list generally used the same abbreviation consistently,

abbreviations did change with time.
